As we said there's no such a thing like sustainable university in Czech republic. 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. <ref>http://acsa.cz/zuni/index.php</ref> 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. | As we said there's no such a thing like sustainable university in Czech republic.

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 <ref>http://urbi.uni-graz.at/de/fakultaet/</ref> tries hard to be CO2 neutral.

As we are students of Masaryk University we are going to talk about it's potential to be the first sustainable university in Czech Republic. Masaryk university has already had some preconditions that would help to transform it. There is a deprtement of environmental studies at the Faculty of Social Studies wich is the leader of green changes at the Masaryk University.There is a very good waste management and students can even bring their broken electronics to recycle them. The canteen at the faculty sells local bio juices and fair trade tea. There is a copier with recycled paper in the library (they don't have it in Graz) and the university supports electronic datas and studying materials. Teachers and students placed special swift nestboxes below the roof of the faculty. All theese things could be used as fundaments for developping other activities leading to "sustainability" certifying. Next steps could be inspired by the University of Graz. For the beginnig some faculties might place photovoltaic power plants on their roofs and lands or find other renewable sources of energy. | As we are students of Masaryk University we are going to talk about it's potential to be the first sustainable university in Czech Republic.
