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.

 Attached a an FAQ Leeds critical Mass flyer to give to (irate) motorists and pedestrians and other cyclists about critical mass including when and where we meet.   See other flyers on the CRITICAL MASS page.

Critical Mass is a monthly bicycle ride to celebrate cycling and to assert cyclists' right to the road, happening on the last Friday of every month in hundreds of cities and towns around the world.
