[DurhamDivest] Consultation on the divestment of Fossil Fuels - some bad news

[Susan Wesley]

Hello everyone

Some bad fossil fuel news - Huge deposit of untapped oil could be 
largest ever discovered in US

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2016/nov/17/untapped-oil-texas-permian-basin-900-billion

This is why we desperately need to get the university to divest from 
fossil fuels companies.

If you haven't submitted your answers concerning the “Consultation on 
the divestment of Fossil Fuels” use this link - 
https://www.dur.ac.uk/divestment/

The question are:

Q1. Do you believe that Durham University should divest from companies 
involved in fossil fuel extraction? Please provide reasons for your 
response.

Q2. Do you believe Durham University should invest in companies involved 
in fossil fuel extraction if they are also involved in renewable and 
green technologies? Please provide reasons for your response.

I submitted mine a few days ago. The deadline for submissions is 31 
December 2016.

If you live in and around Durham I don't see why you cannot take part in 
this consultation, you are as much apart of the university as anyone. 
You have nothing to lose so submit your views!

Best wishes

Susan
