► Alisdair Lemon
Sustainability Officer My name is Alasdair Lemon and I am a second year Marine Biology student. I founded, and I am the president of, the University’s Barnardo’s Society. I am running for the position of Sustainability Officer. I passionately believe in combating climate change and pollution as I learn daily of the damage that we are doing to aquatic environments and the ever increasing disappearance of the organisms that inhabit them. I am passionate about protecting the environment: whilst at school I was involved in the Environmental Club, I actively recycle and I encourage others to do likewise. I believe that by making small and easy changes eg. by recycling, we can all make a vital contribution to combating climate change. I established a Fairtrade stall in the library and was a member of the Fairtrade/Humanitarian Club which promoted Fairtrade and humanitarian issues. I have also worked in Oxfam for three and a half years where I have been in charge of Fairtrade in our local branch: this includes ordering, unpacking, displaying and promoting Fairtrade products. I was also a Climate Change Ambassador for If elected I shall dedicate my time to: · Improving recycling facilities in every kitchen in halls. · Having information available for students to get involved in local and national Environmental campaigns: · Promoting Fairtrade issues throughout the university and working towards gaining Fairtrade status for the university. - Working towards gaining the NUS Sound* Environmental Impact Awards. · Getting recycled paper in all the university printers and photocopiers. · Introducing motion sensors into the new kitchens and bathrooms as the halls are “The Brundtland Commission - defined sustainable development as “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” One way of achieving this is through Fairtrade, defined as:“better prices, decent working conditions, local sustainability and fair terms of trade for farmers and workers in the developing world.” (www.fairtrade.org.uk) Fairtrade is important because everyone is born with the same rights but, due to modern society, the country into which they are born or political ineptitude, these rights are not always recognised. This is why Fairtrade is so important to me because it is a major body fighting for people to have equal opportunities throughout the world. You can vote on the 22nd and 23rd March.
