No bottled water campaign leads to new bike

1 JANUARY 2003

Charles Sturt University (CSU) student Ms Hannah McKenzie has been awarded for her support of moves to reduce bottled water at the institution. The animal science student from Young won a bicycle after completing a quiz to promote student awareness about the environmental, financial and health benefits of using tap water over purchasing bottled water. It is part of CSU Green’s Free Water Project which includes new bubblers and bottle refilling stations and the sale of reusable bottles at CSU retail outlets. CSU Green Manager Mr Ed Maher said, “The prize of a bike aims to encourage students to cycle to and from campus as well as around campus instead of driving. This benefits their health and wellbeing, hip pocket and the environment. As part of our sustainability targets, Charles Sturt University wants to reduce waste, save water and cut carbon emissions.” The bike was supplied by local business, Kidsons Cycles.
