Transition Universities is a national student campaign based on the success of the Transition Town movement. The launch of Transition: St Andrews will be taking place on Monday 7th December at 7pm in Venue 2, on the top floor of the Students' Association, and is being organised by the OneWorld Society. OneWorld would like to invite all students to attend and find out more about this exciting new project. The Transition Universities initiative has already been successful elsewhere in Scotland - it was announced yesterday that students at Edinburgh University have been awarded £340,000 of government funding to reduce their carbon footprint - so it would be excellent to see similar success in St Andrews.
