Cooler unions have already been taking action locally to change student and staff behaviour, but Go Green Week will see more innovative action taking place to help solve climate change and begin the transition to low-carbon universities. There is a plethora of activities planned, from Carbon Speed Dating, to swap shops, local sustainable food stalls, green graffiti events, fashion shows, bicycle workshops, and a whole host of other activities.
Degrees Cooler Go Green Week activities will run at the following universities where they will seek to carry out;
- 20 carbon speed dating events which will engage over 4000 people;
- 20 Degrees Cooler food, waste, energy and travel projects;
- 2000 individuals signing up to 10:10;
- 10,000 people learning about climate change.
The theme for Go Green Week this year is Love Your Climate, and participating P&P groups, students' unions and Colleges/Universities have some great events to linked into this special occasion.
Degrees Cooler is limited to 20 participating Universities but, if you are not studying at these institutions, there is still plenty you can do for Go Green Week. Click here for more information.
