Other green action stuff

Anything that does not fit into the other sections.

  1. Where are template copies of posters and flyers that have been used in the past?

       There is a folder on the library shelf that contains copies of many of the different flyers that have passed through the food co-op. These can be taken to media services and photocopied. Hopefully there will also be a cd containing electronic flyer/posters as .pdf files for printing too, made by Ben.
  2. What is the Green Guide and who produces it?

       The Green Guide was started last year by a group of Green Action members. It went out to freshers in September, providing information about shops, organisations, facilities and people in Leeds who can help students adopt a more ethical lifestyle. It is already being improved for next year - email benmilner at gmail com to find out how you can get involved.
  3. What is Critical Mass, when and where is it, and who does the publicity?

       Critical Mass occurs when enough cyclists take to the road together to feel safe cycling around main roads, and make a stand for cyclists' rights. On the Leeds Critical Mass, we try to do a lap or two of the city centre, and make the event fun and colourful. We want to make the point to motorists that cyclists have as much right to be on the road as they do, if not more - as the flyer says, we're not blcking traffic, we are traffic. We meet on the last friday of every month in Millenium Square at 5.30pm. Usually we nominate someone to do the leafletting at the closest meeting prior to the date.
  4. Who organises socials, protests, trips or actions?

       Anyone that volunteers to do it! For socials, there is a Band Soc at uni, or we can go the the pub, have a bring-a-dish, go for a walk, see a film at the Common Place, hold an open mike night - whatever you fancy doing really! The rest are equally diverse: badgering the Union, holding stalls, going to music festivals or down to London for marches, writing to MPs, organising workshops or classes... The more people who decide to get something started, the more fun we'll have and the more difference we'll make!
