Charity Carnival: Annual Charity Event along with the Open Day for the university.
We also have taken several initiatives to make ourselves much more Green.
Nottingham Clubs and Societies have organized Famine Camps, Earth Hour and Green
Week.
Green Week has been a UNMC tradition for many years. An event which symbolizes
our student communitys, struggle for creating a green and sustainable environment.
Every year the Green Week has its own theme and the intention is to fundamentally
practice sustainability and encourage environment friendly behavior throughout the
year. This year the Student Association is proud to liaise with the Nature Club and
Sustainability Research Network to organize the Green Week 2k15.
Our idea is to promote recycling on campus alongside conducting a Sustainability
Conference to formally educate our student community about sustainability and its
socio-economic importance. We are proud to be able to make Earth Hour a part of
Green Week 2K15. Our slogan: #Use Your Power for a Sustainable Future advocates
the ideology behind this years Green Weeks motivation.
This year the Green Week will have the following events:
Opening ceremony of the Green Week 2k15: Including performances by Unmc Clubs
and Societies and pledge printing to promote recycling.
Sustainability Development Conference: A one day conference to raise sustainability
awareness with students being the targeted audience.
Eco-Bazaar: A one day bazaar to promote recycling by providing initiatives to students.
Ecoteer: A one hour talk.
Earth Hour: A worldwide grassroots movement celebrated on campus to unite the
student body at UNMC to protect the planet.
Nature Club: Found in 2009 UNMC Nature Club has a primary aim of promoting
sustainability. They have organized numerous environmental activities and earned their
position as one of the highly esteemed student society on campus.
Vision:
SRN-UNMC sees sustainability as a way of life that starts from within and aspires to
transform UNMC into a sustainable model campus that inspires others by example.
Mission:
1: Investigate sustainability from multiple angles
2: Facilitate sustainability knowledge exchange within and outside the campus
3: Promote interdisciplinary collaboration and discussion
4: Explore the small steps we can take to have a real impact upon all our futures
5: Support the quality and visibility of sustainability research at UNMC.
Other Organizers include:
Education Network
Y.E.S Club
Enactus UNMC
Social: This looks into the issues that impact people directly that either helps or hinders
the process of improving the quality of life.
Economic: This looks at the system that determines how the limited resources needed
to improve peoples' lives are distributed. It also examines how these limited resources
are used.
Environmental: When we focus on the environmental aspects of sustainable
development, we look at the natural resources--both renewable and nonrenewable--that
make up our surroundings and help us to sustain and better our lives.
Proposed Plan:
The Conference audience is largely target at University level students; however it is
open for the any member of the public to participate upon registering. The specifics of
the conference are as follows;

how to protect the environment, with the use of new innovations, technologies, etc.

been such programmes specifically targeted at university students.

Ecotourism:
Introduction and Vision:
Ecoteer is a travel company with a radically different brand of eco-tourism. While there
is doubt that recycling bottles, washing towels less often and composting kitchen scraps
can make tourism green, Ecoteer offers volunteer work and working holiday
opportunities that have the tourists actively contributing to conservation by donating
their time and money. A key to all of Ecoteers projects is that the local community
benefits from the project, and a relationship is built between the volunteers and the
people living in the area. That way a start is made for the outsiders to understand the
reasons why people for example eat turtle eggs or poach Sambar deer and Sun Bears,
and for locals to learn why outsiders come in hoping to save those species.
This presentation will explain the Ecoteer concept by using examples from Pulau
Perhentians and Merapoh.
Proposed Plan:
Speaker: Daniel Quilter, Founder of Ecoteer
Date: 25/03/2015
