Sustainability Science Fair

11/26/2019

 
UMEARTH hosted a Sustainability Science Fair in the Fireside Lounge, and it was a blast! We did vermicomposting, which is composting with worms in a bucket, which can be done inside. We have a whole page with info on composting.

For the UMEARTH table, we had Tanner Cheliak, Laura Los, Christina Tran, and Brittany Guarino to build it, set it up, and demonstrate.

We had several clubs and groups around U of M join us as well, who helped make it a fantastic and memorable event.

Clubs/groups that were involved:
  • Sustainable Development Goals
  • Society of Earth Science and Environmental Students (SESES)
  • UM Wetlanders
  • Let's Talk Science
  • Campus Food Strategy Group
  • Environment and Geography Students' Association (EGSA)
  • Engineers Without Borders
  • Sip.Smart - visit their SHOP
  • University of Manitoba Agricultural Robotics Club (UM-agBOT)
  • Office of Sustainability

A big thanks to all of you for coming out!

Physical Plant Tour

11/8/2019

 
Students from UMEARTH were given a tour of the Physical Plant at U of M. They were shown how the district power, heating, and cooling systems on campus work, and they also collected footage to use for the IDEA video competition.

IDEA stands for International District Energy Association. Every year, they hold a competition where students across North America create a video about the district energy, heating, and cooling systems on their campus. The video with the most views during a certain period wins a trip to Denver, Colorado.

UMEARTH is working hard to secure a victory for U of M.

Experimental Lakes Tour

10/27/2019

 
Members of UMEARTH and the Student Energy directorship went to tour the Experimental Lakes facilities in Ontario in preparation for a future project.

Student Energy Summit

10/10/2019

 
Student Energy Summit was an event organized and hosted by Tianna Philippot, with guest speaker Norman Meade, elder in residence at U of M. Students got together and competed against each other in a hackathon competition. Teams of 5 students had 20 minutes to come up with a proposal that would be a solution to various energy and emissions related problems, such as upgrading diesel power systems up North, or making the U of M campus net zero emissions.

Tandemic

9/22/2019

 
UMEARTH held the first annual Tandemic today at Assiniboine Park!

Tandemic is a tandem bike race between teams of two. The teams compete for the best time around a course marked out around the various bike trails in the park.

Thank you to everybody who came out, to Assiniboine Park for the space for the event, and to Bee2gether for the bikes!
