On Friday, I attended Carbon Trust training at Manchester Student Union.This is part of the NUSSL Carbon Academy scheme, which sends Carbon Ambassadors (of which I am 1 of the 12) to different Student Unions to locate areas in which they could save energy and therefore money.
It was an activity-fuelled day of presentations and team exercises (like all NUS training!) The day ended with us looking around Manchester Union and assessing areas in which it could save money.
Everything from a broken diary-deck blind on a fridge in their shop, to leaving the door wide open on their beer cellar, contributes to wasting energy and it is these little improvements that will save a Union thousands of pounds in the long run.
I promised to keep my blogs interactive so below I have added a link to an interesting and thought-provoking debate about the environment:
And if you have any further interest in the Carbon Trust, then here is their website:
