Council may hinder green efforts

---

Sophie Cole, continues to praise the Union’s ‘Go Green’ campaign but suggests its lasting impact may be jeopardised by Cardiff City Council

So, here we are, a week on from the Students’ Union’s ‘Go Green’ campaign, those who got involved should still be basking in the ‘I took one for the planet’ lime-light; initiatives which were thrust into our student domain included a Cathays wide litter pick, increased recycling bins within University buildings, give-aways of ‘Go Green’ bags of goodness and the elusive bundles of green recycling bin-bags.

And for all of these ‘raising awareness’ tactics one should still be, firmly, on two feet, applauding the efforts of the Union. For the truth is, sustainable living is something we students should be concerned with on a daily basis; however, this is not the reality of the situation.
