https://padlet.com/wj19185/climate_action_plan Hey, whoever wants to contribute to that journey towards a future of a more sustainable university is highly encouraged to contribute to that!

We are the Centre of Academic Language and Development and are located on the 4th and 5th floor of Richmond Building. All the staff and students who operate on these two floors and attend classes at the department constitute it. So that means you are probably one of them -  this is why you are here. We have identified 5 major topics that we want to address regarding sustainable change. But feel free to add completely new areas. You are invited to come up with ideas, concerns, information, .... everything is welcomed -  just add it on the padlet. We are currently at the stage where we are accummulating ideas, so feel free to contribute with whatever you think is important. The scheme is that we identify an issue (it is in bold as a heading) and then explain it a bit further in the second section of the post. Add solutions to that in separate posts connected to it. PLease also feel free to make comments or rate on the posts. If you want to get further engaged with this project, just let me know - this is an inclusive project and welcomes everybody who wants to get involved. E-Mail : wj19185@bristol.ac.uk

I've created a small survey to identify how we can create cultural specific incentives for environmentally friendly behaviour.

Use a system where every action that you do for the environment can be recorded and reward those actions with a "currency" or calculate how much money was safed through that for  the department. This currency can be transferred into real money / the money can be taken and spend to a charity or something that is approved to actually impact the world positively. (e.g. In class the charity could be selceted and scrutinised, etc.) -> no competition but all the "money" is collected as a group and the group achieves e.g. that a school was build in Nepal]]> 2020-02-24 18:50:37 UTC https://padlet.com/wj19185/climate_action_plan/wish/449681574 wj19185 https://padlet.com/wj19185/climate_action_plan/wish/449685378 An app that shows you directly how much you safed e.g. now that you used your reusable cupp you rescued one fish from dieing
