Welcome to the Climate Justice Society page! 

PLEASE NOTE: We are currently updating this information

As you read this, countless trees are being felled, oceans polluted and hundreds of thousands of animals killed. Our goal is to raise awareness inside and outside the university about these issues we face. We want to involve as many people as possible and learn and improve together towards a more sustainable future. Everyone is affected, so they should be aware of the consequences!

We are currently in the process of working with the university to implement a policy we created which won the students' votes. This is to create a just and sustainable catering system at our outlets by serving a 60% plant-based menu which is fun and engaging. This is an exciting time to join our team and be part of incredible change for people and planet (whilst adding something impressive to your CV!). Our campaign has been published in local and national news numerous times, and featured on the PETA website:
