Preparing for Common Ground II

Working Group Updates:

Food: How can we create an edible campus? How can we get UVic interested with local foods? How can we link food w/ climatge change?
Public Outreach: What are the connections between community and local government?
Energy: How much hot water does campus use? How much GHG emitted per litre of hot water? -Carbon footprint for solar-hot-water units?
Green Building: How do we avoid stepping on POLIS's toes/business & economy?
Next week: Talk about how we will map UVic's linkages to POLIS & other UVic groups & working groups and how they all link to one another AND groups begin planning summer transition.

Long-term to dos...

Messages -> how we communicate what we want ppl to be aware of.
Goals -> awareness (of what); recruitment for summer; defining Beyond Climate Neutral (keep initiative in mind: how will we creat BCN plan?); popularize working groups; show what we have done; get ppl to go to the Wiki -> video or slideshow re: what we do ("trailer")
Channels -> classroom; audience; events; posters (master template); e-mail -> student & faculty formats.

Order: Goals/Messages

Short-term to dos/suggestions...

Scrap events (public) and classrooms speaking.
Get Jenna and Stephen in touch w/ Batemen -> Wiki logos for ea. Working Group.
Posters next week (? Whatever time works for Jenna and Stephen) -> simple, generic message. -> talk to Mark for moolah -> tear offs (yes to this idea) with info or business cards.
Jamie to maintain prestegious status as "head e-mailer"
Find out who'll be around in summer -> web TT -> summer classes -> Heather
What will be our web-presence on UVic.ca? -> summer transition.
Inter-faculty competition update -> business into it but not driving it -> thermometre or whiteboard to measure competition progress -> have elect. info for buildings -> need to figure out self-reporting for transportation -> links on Uvic.ca?
Presence at similar, community events -> need to show support for other community groups -> need representatives to attend these -> Commnity Outreach and Events sub-group will dicuss this issue (Black Stilt, Fri., Mar. 16).
Include staff in e-mails.
Help organize Car-Free Day (Jill).
Party!!! -> host to put down plastic on couch in preparation for Heather -> Lucy to host -> probably on April 12th.
