Dear Miranda, The Copernicus Institute on Sustainable Development at Utrecht University does not allow to serve meat at events paid for, or organized by, the university. Workshop lunches, institute parties, department dinners: all must be vegetarian and are often vegan. This policy cuts across the university.
In addition, our institute has agreed on a train zone around Utrecht. Within this zone you are not allowed to fly for work-related events. For example, from Utrecht to Munich you must take the train; same for London, Paris, Berlin, etc. You‘ll take the train to England and Denmark, but you may fly – if absolutely needed - to Scotland or Finland. The institute compensates higher costs for train tickets. These are some of the bigger items. We have various initiatives to work towards more ambitious action at university level. All the best Frank From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Schreurs, Miranda Sent: vrijdag 17 januari 2020 07:23 To: [email protected] Subject: [gep-ed] Campus Sustainability Dear GEP-EDers I’ve been asked to head up a task force at our university to upscale our sustainability activities. I would be very appreciative if any of you who are at universities doing something particularly powerful/effective in this area could share it with me. I will be happy to collect and send around ideas. Thanks!
