Vice President, Services and Environment : The planning can start

There has been a anme and remit change for the Residence associations 'Vice President, Serivces'

It now includes ................. 'and Environment'.

This position will go a long way in looking at, and reducing our student societies environmental impact and hopefully will be able to reove some of the barriers to positive environmental behaviour.


A few facts that are on the original motion, but you may want to read again:

• 
  On average, 507 kilograms of household waste was produced per
  person in the West Midlands in 2006-7

• 
  Recycling two glass bottles saves enough energy to boil water for five cups of tea.

• Recycling just one plastic bottle can save the same amount of energy needed to power a 60 watt light bulb for 6 hours.
  
  
  
  I'm really excited about the amount we can achieve as a team.
