UNSW

Haven’t been actively lobbying the uni lately but have been doing much more exciting things for climate publicity and awareness instead.

Have recently run a few workshops with green geeks, another great group on campus, on things such as solar and how to do environmentally friendly D.I.Y. sort of stuff. And had a climate change forum with around 60 people.

Their energy manager (who has been really cool and come up with some great energy strategies) is leaving. Students will be meeting with him before he goes and have already set up a meeting with his replacement.

Enviro collective is also currently working with bigswitch, who are targeting retrofitting and energy efficiency on campus. They’re working on how to get students to hold up their role in the project.

Representatives from the enviro collective are on the Environmental Policy Advisory Committee (EPAC) and are pushing for a separate energy committee to be set up.

And finally they are doing lots of thinking about where they’re at and where to go with the clean energy campaign.
