<\/a><\/p>\nDuring Carbon Speed dating both staff and students were rated as having a low, medium or high carbon footprint through answering some lifestyle questions: \u2018how much do you spend\u00a0on clothes and shoes a month?\u2019 or \u2018how would you describe your diet?\u2019. They were then matched with someone with the opposite rating, so people with high carbon footprints spoke to people with lower ones, to share lifestyle choices and experiences. With a goal of networking in mind, the students also attempted a bingo exercise with each other, where they tried to find others with particular habits. For example, have you volunteered at Avery Hill Community Garden, or do you leave electrical items on standby?![\"staff2\"](\"\/greengreenwich\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2014\/03\/staff2-300x225.jpg\")

In the festive quiz the students battled it out in teams and answered questions on the social, economic and environmental impacts of the festive period. We discussed what easy lifestyle changes we could all make and shocked the group with some figures. Did you know that 60,000 were predicted to be reliant on a Trussell Trust food bank over the festive period? Or that 80,000 tonnes of old clothes would have been thrown away over this period in the UK (that\u2019s 4 million suitcases)?<\/p>\n
We would like to thank Veronica Habgood\u00a0and the rest of the organisation team, as well as the volunteers on the day, for their hard work and enthusiasm. Furthermore, \u00a0congratulations on putting on a very tasty bake sale!![\"staff](\"\/greengreenwich\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2014\/03\/staff-group-300x225.jpg\")
