Manifesto

On Campus Change

Plastic Free POP!

  • Student outlets use thousands of single-use plastic cups during POP and circling every week.

  • As Environment and Ethics Officer I would work with the SU to introduce sustainable alternatives.

Recycling & Efficiency on Campus

  • Food and power wastage on campus is exceedingly high.

  • I will work to provide accessible food waste bins and implement energy efficient lighting and technology across campus.

Reusable Period Products

  • In the UK 200,000 tonnes of waste is generated from period products each year.

  • I will campaign to reduce this by ensuring reusable period products are accessible through the #endperiodpoverty scheme.

An Ethical Future

Public Sustainability Pledges

  • I will advocate for the university and SU to have specific environmental policies on how they will phase out fossil fuel usage to reach their goal of 50% reduction by 2030.

  • Therefore I assure that the university’s sustainability agenda will be more transparent for students, encouraging greater discussion of sustainability within the University.

Public Investments & Ethical Procurement

  • I will campaign for the university to publicly list their investments to meet the university’s commitment to ethical investing.

  • Advocate for regular updates on the university’s investment plans to reach net zero.

Ethical Recruiting: Divesting from Unethical Partnerships

  • I will pressure the university into a commitment to cut ties to recruitment links within fossil fuel, mining, and arms industries.
