** ACTIVITIES NOON ** (as of 1100) 1  Visit of Vegetable Car driver Rudi Schacher //(A Swiss-born adventurer last week realised his dream when he finished an eight-month charity drive across 23 countries at his favourite beach in the world, Bondi. Rudi Schacher set off from North Cape in Norway last May in his $3000, 28-year-old, vegetable oil-powered Mercedes-Benz. The car was converted to run on cooking oil in 2006 by Swiss company BioDrive)// Vehicle is for pictures available and some of the students can do a test drive. The driver will explain a bit what he did/ do and why he does it Staff if possible should come to school in alternative vehicles 2 Exhibition and show prepared through AF with marketing class (AF seems to be a car expert ) More on alternative energies for cars at [] (would print some of those pictures and present to audience)

3 Have a stand and calculate for interested students their ecological footprint, would be run by lor and jove [] [] and print a sticker for each students who went through the process

4 will be done before the student go for their lunch and are waiting, water tasting and water transport Have a booth with different waters, bottled and tab and give them to compare explain the issue of bottled water and the dominance of nestle in buying it all up, slogan: what would you say if air to breath would have to be paid for? Have a normal container with water filled like some people have to get from the far away waterholes present for some students to try to get them around the building to show how difficult it is for many million of people to get to their daily water, Average Water collection in Africa would be 500 meters and a average family lowest possible daily water need is at 160 l (way below the usage of a IMI student (approx 400 l/ day), can be life calculated at [] )
 * managed by lor and jove (need a small budget to buy different bottled water, something to cover them and then a 20 l plastic for water, like used for picknick**

** ACTIVITIES AFTERNOON ** (1330-1700)

1 WWF [|www.wwf.ch] is confirmed to do an activity on carbon footprints with a group of up to 40 students for 2 hours. They will bring their material with them but would need an assistant as well as a projector and room to show websites (access to internet needed too). They would come with 2 people and as well join our lunch. The contact and person to come is Jenny Naef (cost 250 sfr) The workshop will go for 2 hours: A global concept for evaluating humanitiy's imprint on the planet Earth, in which each and every one of us plays our part. We will learn how to calculate our own balance, and see how we can best reduce our personal footprint, making the choices that fit for us - as individuals or in the workplace. Film, Powepoint, etc., (Video projector required) I plan to arrive for lunch at the school at 12:00 noon (or tell me the time?) and will set up to start at 14:00. As you discussed with Ms. Henzi, the WWF requests a fee of CHF 150.- plus expenses for travel and any workshop materials. I will bring the bill with me. I expect to receive from you a list of the participants including their respective country of origin.

2 [] Urs Freuler (will come to discuss details on march 17, the whole of their activity is 100% free) They as well came up with the current project based on the disney movie Wall-e [|http://www.helpwalle.ch] coming on campus with their recycle cars and work interactively with our students

3 [|www.umweltschutz.ch] Martina Wyrsch would bring some material (details still to be confirmed ) and as well work with some of our students on the topic of UMWELTSCHUTZ

4 [|www.texaid.ch] showed interest and will call me this week

I have already ordered some of their promotional waste posters which will be hanging around the school I have asked them for a gigantic Wall e carton pull up which I would love to place in the lobby to promote the whole day One suggestion on a additional activity would be in one faculty to set up a green travel office and "sell" soft and fair vacations. The idea would be to rise awareness in a palyful way and perhaps even distribute some virtual tickest for some of our students
 * Sideprojects:**
 * ( I already asked Matthias since i though him being ideal for this but he was not sure if he would be active during marhc 30 and suggested Theodore)**

Further contacts but no asnwer yet Abfall ( [|www.abfall.ch] ), SENS on recycling from technical material like computers ( [|www.sense.ch] ) and many more of the organizations in Switzerland to ask for promotional material, for ideas and participation to our march 30 afternoon, still wait for their feedback <span style="font-size: 9pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-language: DE-CH; mso-no-proof: yes;"> MORE IDEAS where I would like to get your feedback:

1 // Eventually as well an interesting topic would be on nanotechnology, see link to pdf // [|//http://www.umweltschutz.ch/download.php?id=167//] // perhaps to be discussed between the team if of interest and if positive I can try to contact them as well, or is it TOO specific and to high scientific? // // 2 // // See an article from ABB technologies for a more sustainable future, what about inviting them to promote and present their technology on campus // [|//http://www.abb.ch/cawp/seitp202/11bfb196d09b1ac8c125754e0048b540.aspx//] When and how long: 2 hours Supervision: Group of … students: Activity:

Miro and Gavin plan to show the waste to students “Miro I would like to proceed in placing a vast number of water and electricity notices around the building on Green day to increase awareness that saving and carefully utilising these two resources can help and protect the environment as well as make individuals and IMI socially responsible. The idea is to be relatively light hearted with these notices but to attract attention with a serious message. In addition, we would also like to proceed with a central recycling point for one day encouraging students to deposit paper, plastic bottles etc so that one day’s recycling can all be seen by the students and if this what we can achieve in one day just imagine over an entire semester etc… “
 * Other activities planned: **

Shaun has something planned to which he wants to present to students on food waste Jove has a community project running organized and proposed through student council LOR has his class to prepare a exhibition with slides and text to be hang Have somebody walking around as a ePatrol checking out in a fun way about students who should not do something or should be aware of what they did, for example a student who drinks a coke should be “catched” and informed about what coke means, not sure who could take this job since it must be somebody with a extended knowledge of products and their eco footprints

As a follow up and sustainab le situation we should implement some steps, for example like here the 7 steps []

A student council green party for the evening
