Tipping Points: managing environmental strategies in Universities and Colleges Janet Trotter

Tipping Point: Malcolm Gladwell “The magic moment when ideas, trends, fashions and social behaviour cross a threshold, tip and spread like wild fire.” These may be some of the reasons you have come here today; we hope to offer you something of value in these areas [NB: we need to refer back to these with the examples presented later]

Characteristics of classic Tipping Points Behaviours spread like viruses – contagious Little causes have big effects Change happens not gradually but with dramatic effect These may be some of the reasons you have come here today; we hope to offer you something of value in these areas [NB: we need to refer back to these with the examples presented later]

Application of tipping point theory to University Formed by merger Incorporated ‘green’ subjects Values debate – environment/ sustainability part of mission Environment/Sustainability Committee Policy development (procurement including buildings) Academic involvement (all students have access) These may be some of the reasons you have come here today; we hope to offer you something of value in these areas [NB: we need to refer back to these with the examples presented later]

Achievements Sustainability Award - 2003 Annual Report – 2004 ISO 14001 – 2005 CETL Greater alignment of rhetoric and reality

What was the tipping point in our journey? Series of initiatives: e.g. use of 100% recycled paper 100% green electricity PCs purchased with power saving devices intersite transport electric vehicles sorting waste fair trade and local food sourcing BUT Tipping point was development of new campus

([Prince of Wales Business and Environment Programme)

Conclusion/Issues Business case not strong in all areas currently – live in a world of trade offs Need better metrics HEFCE/LSC will need to change their approach HE/FC institutions should be leaders – mainly followers currently Tipping points for change in future is likely to be public pressure, cost and legislation [examples to be added] over to Jim Simpson . . .
