The Sustainability Initiative Fund is a pioneering project set up by students at the University of East Anglia aimed at providing interest free capital for projects that will make the university campus more sustainable.
The initiative was set up in reaction to the increasing awareness amongst students about the threat of climate change.
Student representatives will be chosen according to their knowledge, experience and aptitude concerning environmental projects.
It has also received coverage by Livewire, the student radio station and the Eastern Daily Press.
The project is being coordinated by a society at the University of East Anglia called 'The Campus Sustainability Initiative' which was formed in October 2006 by Peter Clutton-Brock, William Ashley Cantello and Nicola Birch.
