RACHEL LEUCK “Use the Force!” Environment Officer 2009 - 2010 “The activist is not the man who says the river is dirty. The activist is the man who cleans up the river.” – Ross Perot Like Luke in “Star Wars,” I, too, can use the “Force”… to make an environmental difference at UEA!!! I am passionate about the environment, hard‐working, and I NEVER give up. I have been involved with many green organizations, and I have loads of leadership experience. Plus, I always have a smile on my face! ☺ As Yoda would say, “Vote for Rachel Leuck, you will!” I am an activist – when I see a problem, I “use the Force” to find a solution. I am Focused, Open‐minded, Reliable, Committed, and Energetic. That’s the “Force”! I have been actively involved with Greenpeace, World Wildlife Foundation, Sierra Club, and Green Team; I also have experience in student government at high school and university levels. As a 1st Year DEV student, I want to make a difference at UEA, and if elected, I will work diligently on the following environmental issues:
Reduce, Re‐use, Recycle: Recycling services can always be improved, and more recycling services are needed in Union House… Sustainable Support: UEA has the potential to be very eco‐friendly. This means more student involvement with Student Switch‐Off, Green Wing, and UEA’s Go Green Campaign; a supportive environmental staff member in the Union Council; a Sustainable Estates division, and much more… Environmental Extras: Biodegradable cups in the Hive; possible banning of bottled water; UEA’s carbon footprint analysis; green transport; 1st possible compost site(s), ect…
