► How Green is LSU?
LSU is doing all it can to try to become a greener place. In the last year we have established an Environmental Task Force to help us accomplish this. We have also introduced a number of new policies and initiatives that will help us achieve our goal along with entering the Sound Impact Awards
To see how green we ACTUALLY are download the following
Sound Impact is an environmental accreditation scheme with an awards element designed specifically for Students’ Unions. The purpose of the Sound Environmental Impact Awards is to encourage, nurture, reward and celebrate environmental best-practice in Students' Unions.
How does it work?
Sound Impact is an environmental accreditation scheme. It comprises a list of 192 criteria with each delivering a practical action that will help the Union to reduce its impact on the environment. Each criterion is worth a score of between one and ten marks. Each score has been calculated by adding a value for the potential of the criterion in
protecting the environment to a value for the difficulty in implementing it.
Why enter the scheme?
Here are five good reasons to enter the Sound Environmental Impact Awards:
1) Sound Impact is a nationally recognised accreditation offering an independent benchmarking of Unions environmental performance.
2) Each Union entering the scheme will receive a final score that can be used to set targets and monitor performance against. In addition to being presented with a certificate or award at the Annual Dinner at Convention 2009, entrants will receive a digital Sound Environmental Impact Award logo for the standard they have achieved that can be used on their webpages and headed stationary.The process will help us identify what LSU should be doing that it is not, and give us ideas for further improvements, effectively providing an off-the-shelf action plan for greening LSU.
3) Greener means leaner. Improving LSU's environmental performance will help reduce the amount of utilities used, saving money for LSU. Addressing environmental issues is likely to rise LSU's kudos with the LJMU, and make the Union a more attractive place to be for environmentally-conscious staff and students.
4) Every year a selection of the best environmental practice found through the scheme is printed in the Showcase booklet. The booklet seeks to celebrate our collective achievements and is sent to 230 member Unions, to influential stakeholders within the sector, andto key environmental figures beyond the sector - including politicians, directors of NGOs, business leaders and celebrities. It's great publicity for all Unions taking part.
5) The net outcome of participation will be that LSU has a less negative impact on the environment.

The Environmental Task Force
The Task Force is made up of staff volunteers whose role it is to help the Union as a whole become more environmentally sound.
The remit of the Task Force is to:
- To help communicate environmental and ethical good practice to students and staff via internet, email, posters, campaigns and meetings.
- To recommend actions to the executive to improve energy and ethical good practice.
- To set environmental targets for LSU.
- To review environmental performance of LSU.
- To be the contact point for staff and students to raise environmental and ethical issues.
