Carbon Footprint Workshop

We are collaborating with Green Lancaster and the department to run these sessions on carbon footprinting. 

The aim of this workshop is to work with the department on their new sustainability commitments, the two we are focussing on are:

  • We will consider and consult on ideas for reducing the number of LEC field courses which are dependent on  flying, potentially switching to alternative, attractive locations reachable by coach/rail/ferry for future cohorts of students
  • We will work with others in our campus community and beyond to help advance our wider institutional sustainability policies and help promote and influence sustainability in the wider world

This is an opportunity for you to learn about your own footprint including how to reduce it, gain some resources we think are helpful and discuss with other students the issues regarding environmental action today.

This an excellent chance to gain some skills and resrouces and will help work alongside many modules within your degrees. Everyone is welcome.

Includes:

  • Calculating your carbon footprint
  • How to reduce your footprint
  • Resources to help you track and reduce your emissions
  • Open discussion on talking to others about the climate

This workshop will be a great chance to talk to other students and learn from them while enhancing your learning alongside your degree. 

 

The workshops are in the LEC 3 Training rooms (Enter LEC 3 through the double automatic doors and turn right, the training rooms are just down the corridor) 

We will have a 12-1pm session and 1-2pm both covering the same content. Please book on to one of the workshops (it is completely free).
