Your study association can win 500 euros through Our Big Fat Green Trip
Did you know that around 26 percent of Utrecht 木瓜福利影视鈥檚 carbon footprint is made up of its mobility choices? As the university works on reducing this percentage, this is a good time for study associations to also analyze their own mobility habits. Through the Big Fat Green Trip project, we aim to incentivize your study association to adopt more sustainable travel plans, with support and a 500 euro prize.
Why study associations?
We at the Green Office think that study associations such as yours are in an excellent strategic position to promote sustainable travel options, thanks to their being in constant contact with their students, and their frequent organizing of group trips. Study associations are therefore key stakeholders in Utrecht 木瓜福利影视's sustainable development, and so we have decided to target them with our new project: Our Big Fat Green Trip.
Our Big Fat Green Trip
With this project, we plan to encourage and incentivize Utrecht 木瓜福利影视 study associations to adopt more sustainable travel plans in terms of transport, namely by rewarding one study association that already made sustainable plans in 2025 with a 500 euro prize! Additionally, we will provide study associations with all the information they require on sustainable travel options that are interesting and affordable.
Another story of why I should not fly? What a bummer!
We are aware that, if people feel pressure to travel more sustainably, they might often sigh and think of how inconvenient this would be. All the advantages of other forms of transport are often overshadowed by the portrayal of flying as a more glamorous form of transport, along with its perceived efficiency and its cost (which never covers all the negative externalities caused by flying). And yet, what could be more glamorous than being comfortably seated in a train to France, and passing the time with chats, wine, grapes, and some card games with your friends? Such travel options should not be left in the shadow of the current flying epidemic.
