DFID Development Aid contributes to Climate Change!

Shockingly, the UK Government is contributing to climate change through aid money earmarked for poverty reduction.

Development aid is being used to support the international oil industry. This feeds the oil addiction of the North, generates profit forsome of the richest companies in the world and contributes to grevious local environmental and social problems.

Welcome! Croeso!

Hello, and welcome to the blog for the Aber Guild of Students' Environment and Ethics Officer.

In striving to make my work as transparent and accessible to all, I will do my best to post campaign aims, successes, updates and progress here on how to make our University more sustainable and ethical.

I'll also be keeping a news journal of links to interesting articles, and to campaigning beyond the University - whether it be elsewhere in Aberystwyth, Ceredigion, Wales, the UK - or on the global level, from various NGOs involved in making a better world possible.

Please let me know of anything that would be of use, ideas to take up, things to press forward on - and especially if you want to join in!!!
