Reminder about the new climate policy

Hi chapter!

Earlier this spring, the Climate Chapter Meeting took place, where we voted through a new climate policy. It came into effect on June 1, so here is a reminder of what it means ahead of the start of the semester.

Single-use items: We now have reusable tableware in META, which must be used at all events with up to 30 participants.

Stricter food rules: Vegetarian food is the chapter’s priority. However, white meat may be offered as an active choice when registering for an event. Red meat will not be reimbursed at all, with the exception of certain events, such as some involving traditional Swedish food. More information about the food rules, as well as a list of events that are exempt, can be found under §5.1 of the policy. Expenses that violate these rules, such as purchases of red meat, will not be reimbursed through Cashflow!

Fossil-free transport: The section will no longer cover the cost of fossil fuels. Diesel vehicles must be refueled with fossil-free fuel (e.g. HVO100), and for petrol vehicles, the fuel mixture may contain a maximum of 25% fossil fuel.

This is only a summary of the full policy, which can be found here: https://styrdokument.datasektionen.se/policies/klimatpolicy.

Note, the policy is not available in English. If you need translation services provided then I, Carl Blomqvist, will happily provide them. Cheers!

If you have any questions, feel free to contact the board!
