The Open University is supporting Climate Week (21-27 March) and Platform will be featuring an article a day providing information and advice from OU academics on environmental issues.
The first in the series is from Senior Research Fellow of Mathematics, Computing & Technology at the OU, Christine Thomas, who talks about how reducing food waste could make a massive difference to the environment and to your pocket, with wasted food costing the average family with children £680 a year.
As the week continues we’ll hear from Technology Management lecturer Malcolm Fowles on how to be more energy efficient in the office; Professor of Design and Environment Robin Roy on how to be greener at home; and Professor of Tarnsport Strategy Stephen Potter on transport and the environment. We’ll also be asking for your ideas around climate change – how do you save energy, do you make an effort to be green, what are your top tips or climate change-related questions?
You can also take the How green are you? quiz on OpenLearn or get involved by becoming a creative climate diarist.
