Green Week gets going

Green Week gets going. Green Week is underway, with a range of events aimed at inspiring and informing the College community about green issues. Monday 23 November 2009 - By John-Paul Jones As Green Week kicks off again today students and staff prepare for a series of events, including a meat-free Monday, talks, films on current environmental issues, clothes-recycling workshops and practical gardening sessions. Green Week is organised by Imperial College Union to highlight both environmental issues and the proactive steps students and staff at Imperial can take to make a difference. "This week's about getting everyone across College excited and inspired to think more about Green issues and what steps they can take to reduce their impact on the environment," said Hannah Theodorou, a Medical student and one of the main organisers. "The level of support and interest for this week grows every year and we're hoping this one will be no exception!" She added "We're already seeing the effects of Climate Change and it's easy to feel a bit hopeless. However, the collective efforts of a 20,000-strong College community can have a huge impact.
