To see some of the discussions we're having at the moment, and to add your own comments, take a look at our blog.

Climate Justice Project

The Climate Justice Project is a student-led campaign advocating Contraction & Convergence - an international framework for reducing global carbon emissions. We believe that it is the fairest and most effective solution for curbing climate chaos.

For more on the campaign, see the CJP website

See the C&C motion that was passed at OUSU in Michaelmas '06

College Environment Campaigning

There are dozens of things you can work on at a college level. Here are some ideas to get started with:

1) Get your college signed up to an environment policy...

2) ...and an environmental purchasing guide

3) Make sure you have a recycling system

4) Put our poster up in all your student rooms in college

5) Make sure your college buys sustainably caught fish

Conservation

Oxford Conservation Volunteers go out every Sunday to do conservation tasks in and around Oxford. To get involved, visit their website, which also has a link to their mailing list.

Our nearest Nature Reserve is the CS Lewis Reserve in Risinghurst, just outside Oxford. A residents group heads there on the first Sunday of every month. For contact details, get in touch with us.
