Erika Makipere
Hi! I’m Erika, a fourth-year economics student and I’m running for environmental officer. I have plenty of experience with the SRC, having been a Freshers’ helper for the 2021 and 2022 Welcome Weeks, and a class rep for the 2021-2022 academic year.
Sustainability is important for student welfare – we’re all aware of the climate crisis and need actions to preserve the environment now. I want to work with the university to ensure it does all it can to be a sustainable institution and considers sustainability in its decision making. Some of my goals include:
- Demanding greater transparency in fossil fuel divestment
- Transportation: Ensuring the continuation of the free city bike scheme and access to other free or low cost public transportation to students
- Disposable vape collection points: Setting up collection points on campus for students to leave their used disposable vapes to ensure they will be recycled correctly
Thanks for reading - vote Erika for the environment!
