Vote Varney to Support Students  

SU outlets on Too Good to Go 

• Too Good to Go is an app which sells food about to be wasted at low prices – it is already in use at Pret and the Library Cafe 

• I commit to signing up all SU outlets on the app to allow students to purchase cheap food, while reducing food waste. 

Bikes + Bring Back Voi 

• I will campaign to either bring back the Voi electric scooters, or secure an alternative provider.  

• I will also introduce secure bike shelters to incentivise bike use and protect students fromever-increasing bike theft. 

Vote Varney for an Eco-Friendly Campus  

Green Energy 

• Renewable energy is the key to a sustainable future – so why doesn’t the university have any of it? 

• I commit to pressuring both the university and SU into consulting on installing solar panels on both existing, and all new buildings. 

Subsidising SU outlets 

• I pledge to subsidise vegetarian/vegan meals at all SU outlets. 

• This not only has a positive effect on the environment but also on your cost of living – only 30% of students feel they can afford to eat on campus 

Vote Varney for Climate Co-operation 

Working with the DDO 

• As your Environment and Ethics Officer, I pledge to work constructively with the Democracy and Development Officer. 

• For example, I will work with them to expand the Environmental Certification Scheme to consider ethics as well. 

Working with Zarah Sultana MP 

• I will work with local MPs such as Zarah Sultana on a wider sustainability policy for the area, as well as Matt Western on improving local bus services.

The Only Way is Ethics pt.1 

Ethical Investment 

• Hold Warwick accountable to its Socially Responsible Investment Policy by stopping investment in companies which fuel the arms trade such as Moog, Rolls-Royce and BAE Systems 

• I will lobby for greater transparency of investments – there should be a student and staff representative on Warwick’s investment board, as well as a public list of the university’s investments 

The Only Way is Ethics pt.2 

BP Archives + Spying Allegations  

• In 2019, OpenDemocracy broke the Warwick/BP spying scandal, in which the university allegedly collaborated with oil giant BP on a “security strategy” to spy on students who attempted to access the BP Archives on campus. 

• As your EE Officer, I would campaign for a full, public inquiry into this scandal. 

• Additionally, I would pressure the university to scrap the BP Archives on campus – especially in light of this scandal and the climate crisis.
