Despite a target of reducing emissions 20% between 2005 and 2020 our emissions have actually increased!

I’d like to be corrected on this, but I know of no plan to address this.

The sustainability department recently put out a post on what we can do to be more sustainable (/blog/sussed-news/2017/10/20/everyday-sustainability/). It lists “turning lights off” and doesn’t include diet or air travel at all! This is not good enough.
