Age of Stupid...Dawn of Awareness


We would like to thank everyone that turned out to view the film and speak with the panel last Thursday at the Old Cinema for the Age of Stupid screening. There was great discussion by the audience and the panelists, and again we would like to thank you all for that!!

For instance, some of the best ways for us to individually make an impact is to support and campaign for more wind farms here in the UK- This country has the greatest wind resource in all of Europe!! Also, don't take flights on Holiday (visiting family is an exception)- but don't fly anywhere you don't HAVE to! Generally, just do everything you can to reduce your carbon footprint!!

Please visit the University's sustainability website to watch the video of the event and visit our Facebook to view some pictures from the event, http://www.wmin.ac.uk/page-16980 and facebook Tomorrow's Leaders Westminster.
