On the other hand we can notice some student attempts to make their faculties green and sustainable. It was for example Green campus project <ref>http://zelenykampus.biomania.cz/</ref> in Brno or Green university project by ACSA center. Theese attempts were not very complex or professional.The Green campus project is based only on waste management and doesn't deal with other problems. The project of ACSA was based on organizing debates. It tooked two years and in result they didn´t achieve any changes. | ||
The sustainable University of Graz tries hard to be CO2 neutral. It implements new and green steps in the lives of students. They are partially selfsufficient in green energies as thy have a photovoltaic system. The rest of energy comes from renewable sources. All new buildings have to be constucted in sustainable ways. All the facuties have a special waste management. Students are encouraged to use bikes as much as possible by placing bike stands and providing bike service points right at the faculties. There are bio and Fair trade products in university cantenns. The lifts are banned and students are encouraged to walk upstairs. All new students have to attend lectures on sustainability. There is also a department of environmetal sciences. | The sustainable University of Graz tries hard to be CO2 neutral. It implements new and green steps in the lives of students.

That's why activists, NGOs and in our case universities have to find some other ways to get finances, try to get a supprt from the EU and act differently. As Czech universities are not motivated to be sustainable from the side of the governement, we could use the revality between them to give them some motivation. Masaryk University tries hard to be better then Charles University of Prague. Being the first sustainable university would mean a new mark of prestige. If student inciatives supported the idea the way would be paved with success. | That's why activists, NGOs and in our case universities have to find some other ways to get finances, try to get a supprt from the EU and act differently.
