Good afternoon everyone,
After the Plant Science department council meeting, the department has moved forward to establish a
Climate Action Committee to help conceptualize and recommend “net-zero” for our department’s field-related research based programs and research travel. If the committee is successful in establishing a carbon neutral plan, the Department of Plant Science
could become one of the first net-zero departments at the University of Manitoba.
The Climate Action Committee is currently looking for two graduate students to join this meaningful committee to help build towards a greener future for our department and ultimately, our planet. Meetings will only be held every month/every
other month, so the time requirement for being a part of the committee will not be overwhelming.
Please let either Hao or Sam know if you wish to join this committee ASAP. You can contact us at
luuh2@myumanitoba.ca or
curtiss@myumanitoba.ca if you would like to join or if you have any questions or concerns.
All the best,
Hao Luu & Sam Curtis
Department Council Student Representative/Treasurer & Social Director
