Green Week I was part of the delivery team for Green Week 2012 and organised a lot of the publicity, venues and events. I ran a successful Fairtrade Bake Sale in my role as Fairtrade Steering Group Chair which raised almost £100 for the Fairtrade Foundation and increased awareness of Fairtrade amongst the student body. I also brought Fife Diet (http://www.fifediet.co.uk/) to Green Week with their Seed Truck and Smoothie Bike. This event was held in the sunshine outside the Student’s Union and generated a lot of attention and interest. Students came by to pedal their way to a refreshing smoothie made with electricity and with all local ingredients from a nearby fruit farm.
Future Projects During the next 6 months I will be continuing to work on a lot of the long term projects outlined in this report, in particular the Passport to Environmental Excellence, Carbon Conversations, Fairtrade Steering Group and publicity. New projects will include helping to establish an Environmental Management System for the University, working towards a Green Tourism Business Scheme award for McIntosh Hall of Residence, redeveloping and reinvigorating parts of the Environment Team website, submitting our application for the People and Planet Green League and coordinating more events and outreach for the next Green Week and Fairtrade Fortnight.
