Students Working Towards a Sustainable Community at Clare College, Cambridge


Our Aims: Informing

Most people know that our climate and ecosystems are at risk, but few know how the different ‘eco-friendly’ actions compare, and which ones actually make a difference.

Our aim is to spread the facts to make a community that is aware quantitatively of how their actions influence their carbon footprint.

Our Aims: Campaigning

We campaign to convince people to take positive, useful action on climate issues, not tokenistic actions that appear green but are really negligible or even counter-productive.

This involves:

  • Working with Clare College to pursue sustainable actions (i.e: in how it feeds its community, and heats its buildings)
  • Persuading students and staff that it’s worthwhile to make lifestyle changes to improve their environmental impact

“People really do care in principle about the environment, but they aren’t clear on what they can do that really makes a difference – which is why this is such a great idea, just giving over straightforward, useful facts to those who want it.

– Rowan Williams, Clare Goes Green Secretary
