Words by Faustina Martha.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s be honest, conversations on climate change can sometimes feel like information overload. The doom and gloom can be scary, confusing, and not to mention unproductive. Without science-backed facts and a sense of unity, it can all leave us feeling rather lost within the noise, right? Chuck in some \u2018greenwashing\u2019 and suddenly it\u2019s impossible to see what\u2019s genuine and what\u2019s just all for show<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our story of Green Together is quite different. A tale of transformation, education, and collectivism, we lay our scene at Manchester\u2019s Central Library across 22, 23 and 24 of February. Organised by the Faculty of Science and Engineering<\/a>, the event embodied ideals of sustainable lifestyle adaptation, and while the set may be dressed in faux fruit and vegetables, these actions are far from fictional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Three<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Wennie Subramonian<\/a> is a Lecturer of Chemical Engineering in the Department of Chemical Engineering<\/a> and is one of the academics supporting the initiative. She says, \u201cOur aim is to demystify the science of carbon emissions reduction. It’s about bringing the abstract into the tangible, everyday decisions we all make. We’re not just imparting knowledge; we’re inviting participation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Green Together was not your run-of-the-mill conference. It featured hands-on and interactive activities, from plant-your-own vegetables and microfiber microscopes to a carbon calculator stall from Wennie and her team of enthusiastic student volunteers. Their grocery shopping experience showcased the carbon output of different foods, fresh produce, and personal care products. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wennie recalls many of the participants’ bemused reactions to their personal carbon footprint. She says, \u201cThey were surprised to see how choosing soft cheese over hard cheese every other week could significantly cut down emissions. It’s these little switches that can make a big difference.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To run this activity, Wennie used CCaLC Lite, an interactive app with the basis of carbon footprint estimating software, which was developed in-house by Prof Adisa Azapagic<\/a> at the Department of Chemical Engineering<\/a>. The software simplifies carbon footprint calculations, offering a general idea of personal carbon emissions. The use of the app was repurposed into an outreach activity\u00a0by Dr Rosa Cu\u00e9llar-Franca<\/a> and Dr Laurence Stamford<\/a>, both members of the Sustainable Industrial System\u2019s research group. Wennie says, \u201cThrough this game, participants could see in real-time how different choices impacted their carbon emissions. It was a revelation for many.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The benefits of switching from the carbon-intensive tumble dryer to air-drying was a prime example. \u201cWhen people saw the real<\/em> numbers, not only generating more carbon emissions but it also hurting their bills, they finally became aware of the urgency in reducing these carbon-emitting activities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis simulation wasn’t just a showcase of innovation; it was an embodiment of dialogical science communication. By inviting audience participation, the event fostered a two-way conversation; an exchange where skepticism could be met with solid proof and open discussion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Making smarter, greener (and cheaper) choices\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Beyond carbon footprints, Green Together was also a deep dive into how we, as a society, approach consumption. The event highlighted the hidden environmental impact of certain products, like tomatoes when grown in heated greenhouses in the UK. Wennie says, \u201cChoosing imported tomatoes might seem counterintuitive, but it can be more eco-friendly in our case\u2026 it’s all about knowing the full story.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This \u2018bigger picture\u2019 includes education on dairy products, with Wennie advocating for smarter, not necessarily fewer, dairy choices. \u201cYou don’t have to give up dairy. Just try plant-based options now and then. It’s about balance,\u201d she insists, addressing a common dilemma among environmentally conscious consumers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Three<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Rethinking chemical engineering within sustainability<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Wennie\u2019s approach extends beyond a single event. She\u2019s redefining how chemical engineering can contribute to sustainable development. \u201cWe’re shifting the narrative from traditional industries like oil and gas or petrochemicals to a broader, more inclusive view. Chemical engineering today is as much about renewable energy, sustainable processes, and making a real difference,\u201d she says.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Green Together demonstrates how scientific knowledge can be efficiently presented to the public. It highlights chemical engineering’s potential beyond conventional beliefs, emphasising its importance in sustainable processes, renewable energy, and waste management. These types of events are crucial in informing and inspiring the next generation of scientists and engineers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following its success, Wennie already has other sustainability events in the pipeline, \u201cWe have Rochdale Science Extravaganza coming up in May, where we’ll run similar activities. It’s all about widening the net, reaching more people, and sparking that crucial dialogue.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

More than a moment\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Green Together is not just an event, it’s a beacon of hope and a call to action. Buzzing with innovation and optimism, its message is clear: every individual has a role to play and every action, no matter how small, counts towards a greener, more sustainable future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt’s one thing to tell someone about carbon emissions, but it’s another to let them discover it for themselves. This way, even skeptics can’t deny the impact of their daily choices,\u201d Wennie says.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We’re all part of this planet, and it’s our collective responsibility to care for it. Every small action, every conscious decision, matters. You have the power to drive change and to be the hero in this story of sustainability. It’s not just about what we can do today but what we must do for our tomorrow,\u201d she concludes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
