Transition Universities comes to leeds!

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

Okay, so Edinburgh University have made their campus crazily sustainable. Do we want to do the same? Transition Universities comes from the ideas of transition towns, but this really really is whatever people want to make it. We might want to get all our electricity from a green supplier, knock down the roger stevens and build something better (?!) or get hundreds of little social centres all over campus.
