<div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">Hi All,</div>
<div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><br>
</div>
<div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">Two things
that may be of interest to you on the subject of
<b>divestment</b>:</div>
<div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><br>
</div>
<div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">1. As many of
you probably know, the university is currently holding a
consultation on fossil fuel divestment.
</div>
<div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">Those of you
who are staff at the university can write an email to
<b><a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:durham.divestment@durham.ac.uk">durham.divestment@durham.ac.uk</a></b> with your
opinions/evidence - this would be fantastic as your opinion
would be highly valued. It doesn't have to be particularly
long or thought-out if you don't have time, so it would only
take a few minutes.</div>
<div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><br>
</div>
<div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">While they've
advertised they're looking for opinions from staff, students
and alumni, there's a chance for everyone else to get involved
too!
</div>
<div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">There's an<b>
anonymous online survey</b> on the matter here:<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true" id="LPlnk703765"
href="https://www.dur.ac.uk/divestment/questionnaire/"
target="_blank" previewremoved="true"><span id="LPlnk703765"><font
color="#006fc9"><b>https://www.dur.ac.uk/divestment/questionnaire/</b></font></span></a></div>
<div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><br>
</div>
<div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">Please go
ahead and voice your opinions. Feel free to state you're part
of Transition Durham, and let them know why your opinion
counts too.</div>
<div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><br>
</div>
<div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">They're asking
for the answers to these two questions:<br>
</div>
<div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"> </div>
<div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">Q1. Do you
believe that Durham University should divest from companies
involved in fossil fuel extraction? Please provide reasons for
your response.</div>
<div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">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.</div>
<div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><br>
</div>
<div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">(the second
question being pretty redundant, in the sense that all big
extraction companies have at least some investment in
renewables, to cover their backs)</div>
<div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><br>
</div>
<div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">2. On the
university's page for the divestment consultation, it says:</div>
<div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><br>
</div>
<div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">'Dr Amanda
Ellison and Kate Deeming will host a<b> town hall meeting on
the 16th December</b> 2016, 12.00 - 13.00, Kenworthy Hall,
St Mary's College. All welcome.'</div>
<div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><br>
</div>
<div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">If any of you
can come along to this, please do! It's going to be hard for
students to attend (perhaps organised so on purpose) as it's
in the middle of the day on the last day of term, so having
some of Transition Durham there to support divestment would be
amazing.</div>
<div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><br>
</div>
<div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">If you have
any questions about any of this, feel free to email me at
<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:pippa-jo.cameron@durham.ac.uk">pippa-jo.cameron@durham.ac.uk</a>.</div>
<div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><br>
</div>
<div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">Thanks for
reading,</div>
