Yes, that week full of all things environmentally aware is here again! Whether you're interested in climate change, what being 'green' means for industry or you want to make your lifestyle a little more environmentally friendly, we've got something for you. Check out the timetable here or on the What's On calendar and drop by one of our events to get involved.
Meat Free Monday!
All day, Across Campus
Meat consumption has a huge impact on our environmental impact, having one meat free day per week reduces our emissions more than having all of our food grown in our gardens!
Bike Maintenance workshop
By London Campaign for Cycling and Imperial Bike Users Group, 18:00 in Union Meeting Room 6
Bikes are amazing transport, no fossil fuels, free exercise and time saving in London. The only downside is that things do break and wear, come along and learn how to repair and maintain some basics of your bikes to keep you rolling.
Veg Soc Cooking meeting
By ICU Veg Soc, Meet at 18:00 in FiveSixEight.
Look for the carrot hat. Session on cooking more sustainably, be it using up leftovers or just handy tips on how to reduce throwing stuff out.
Clothes and book Drop
In FiveSixEight in the evening, during the day at Union Reception and Sherfield foyer.
When you drop off your clothes for the clothes swap later in the week, get tokens that you can use in the clothes swap to get some lovely (not so) new (but great) clothes.
Green Week Union Quiz
FiveSixEight at 18:00
Come and test your green-grey-matter. Add in a bit about general quiz blurb but with a green slant to it.
Chutney Session
By Waste Watch, 12:00 in Union Meeting Room 4.
After a discussion on our relationship to food, we will head up to the Union kitchens and cook up come delicious chutney that is free for all to take away.
Felting Session
By Environmental Society, 16:00, Union Meeting Room 7
Do you have any old woolen clothes with holes in them/beyond repair? You can bring them new life by turning them into various felt works. You don't need to bring your own wool, but reusing clothes would be ideal.
Composter visits
Meet at the Green Week Stand in Sherfield, 12:00-14:00.
20 minute tours of 10 people at a time, can sign up on the day for their session or just drop in and wait until the next slot. College is in the process of composting all of their food waste, this is just shy of 10% of their entire waste sent to landfil! Come and check out how you convert raw and cooked food and wood pellets into lovely compost that is used around college to keep our green spaces fertile.
Clothes and book swap
By Women in Science, Engineering and Technology. All day, Union Meeting Room 7.
Come in with your tokens from earlier on in the week trade them in for lovely books and clothes.
Critical Mass - Cycling event!
By Imperial College Bike Users Group, meet outside of the Faculty Building bike park at 17:00, leaving at 17:15.
More of a celebration of cycling than a cycling protest. We will head over to the south bank and join vast numbers of cyclists taking to the streets. The general idea of critical mass is that the more people who cycle, the safer it gets, this is a celebration of cycling but also pointing out how fragile humans are compared to cars.
