Physics of Sustainability: a website for teachers and students<\/p>\n
Funded by the Ogden Trust and delivered by Lancaster University<\/p>\n
Launch June 15th 10.00 – 12.30<\/p>\n
The aim of the website is to show just how important physics is to a sustainable future, and how using physics can be key to the careers in a low-carbon economy.
\nClimate change offers many challenges to the world, and using STEM, very often physics, is key to low-carbon solutions. The people for whom this is most important are those in schools and colleges now; our aspiration is to help them become better equipped for this.
\nInterviews with researchers, technicians and practitioners in the Green Economy are used to introduce students to ideas and then followed up with interactive questions to consolidate the science.<\/p>\n
The authors, Phil Furneaux, (retired outreach officer but now a Teaching Fellow at the Physics Department) and Melissa Lord (a Regional Rep with the Ogden Trust) have worked with Green Lancaster and The Centre of Eco-Innovation throughout the project, introducing people to be interviewed.
\nThe launch will include short talks from several of the contributors including a keynote talk from Prof Sarah Bridle, cosmologist at Jodrell Bank and author of Food and Climate Change without the Hot Air. The theme is for a positive approach to how we can achieve net zero carbon : \u201ctogether we can make it happen\u201d!<\/p>\n

Although having the windows cleaned is nice thing. We are not asking anyone to attend site especially to do this.
