Is the symbol of mindless consumerism: bottled water, set to return to the union?

Submitted by AdamHarper on Sun, 09/10/2011 - 22:41

In the 2008 referendum one of our members Aly put forward the idea to phase out bottled water from the union run shops, and to install water coolers and have reuseable bottles for sale in the shop. Bottled water is hugely environmentally damaging and we felt that students were also being ripped off give it costs 500- 2000 times more than tap water. P&P and Green Action spent hours and hours creating publicity and campaigning to have to phased out, resulting in a record referendum turn out.

Christmas carols

Some traditional Christmas carols (with a tiny anarchist slant). They are best sung loudly and in shopping centres (or Primark). Anyone is welcome to sing these anywhere!
