Welcome!

AM Lalor

This year, Act Aware is back! For those of you who don’t remember us, we are the sustainability committee of LUC. Our goal is to help you (and ourselves) discover environmentally friendly ways of living in The Hague while being students at LUC. In this introductory blogpost, we’d like to tell you a little bit about who we are and what we intend to do this year as a committee.

At the moment, our committee has three board members: Anna Lluna Aguilar (Chair), Maria Clara Oliani (Treasurer) and Ailish Lalor (Internal Events Co-ordinator). Over the coming semester, we’re hoping to grow this board substantially with the addition of a Secretary, Garden Co-Ordinator, and External Events Co-ordinator. We’ll be advertising for people to fill these positions in the first weeks of this academic year.

This year, we’ll be offering multiple workshops and excursions, with themes such as sustainable fashion, waste-free menstruation, biking, rubbish separation— as well as encouraging you to participate in week-long challenges to show you directly how you can live more simply and ethically. In the first block, there’ll also be a raffle, through which you can win sustainable prizes to overhaul small areas of your daily life. 

This blog will have a central role to play in the changes we intend to make in LUC this year. We plan to post weekly, with tips, recipes, events and general updates to share what we know about sustainable living in The Hague. If you have anything you’d like to write about, in terms of environmentally friendly living, please let any of the board know, or contact us via email: actawarecommittee@gmail.com.
