Friends & Project Volunteers Thoughts, Comments and Testimonies


 
 
We couldn't have done this without much help from friends and volunteers willing to donate their time to a good cause. This is what some of them had to say about the project:

 

 

 

“Something has to be said for the social dynamic, and the positive working & relaxing environment that the existence of the bungalow has created. It is a positive and welcoming experience visiting the bungalow.”

Luke Bellamy

 

“The Bungalow project for me was the catalyst for almost everything else that happened for me this year; in academia, in charity and in our little society. It was a place for me to exchange ideas and meet new people, a place to relax and recuperate, and also a place to invigorate any positive motivations that you have. It helps makes the environment a subject that you perceive the environment holistically, as opposed to something that should be considered after the fact.”

Emmanuel Blondel

 

 

"I was incredibly Keele students had been so environmental interests that this; and that they were pressures of university and believe that the is teaching by example, as involved to become more own homes - it has certainly pleased to see that likeminded pro-active in their they created a place such as able to do so despite the modern living... I strongly Sustainable Student Bungalow it encourages everyone environmentally active in their inspired me!"

 

Grace Dempsey

 

“Carl invited my husband (a keen gardener) and I to the sustainability bungalow Keele campus to view the vegetable garden, and were very impressed! You could see that the students had worked hard planning their project, making the raised vegetable beds and growing plants to eat.

 

We had a wonderful time looking around, having a delicious fresh salad lunch and sharing gardening tips. We also talked about cavity wall insulation for the bungalow and taking advantage of grants that provide this for free at the moment!”

Linda Harrington

 

“From the methods and teachings of the sustainable student bungalow I have been able to incorporate sustainable methods into my own home to improve my way of living.”

 

Connor Herbert-Jackson

 

“The Sustainable Bungalow is a place where students can put in to practice what they have learnt about sustainability and the environment on and off the course. Ideas and concepts can be discussed in a friendly and social environment allowing me to develop my understanding. The project has inspired me to become more active and involved by encouraging me to grow my own food and participate in the building of a hedgehog house.”

 

Sophie Kilgallon

 

“A hub where like minded people of any discipline can take an active role in the Keele community.”

Alex Melson

 

“The Sustainable Student Bungalow is a place for intellectual communications and exchange of knowledge. In there, we discuss the past, present and future of human civilization and work hand-to-hand together to pursue justice and betterment of society.”

Hugh Tam

 

“It is a place to show that students can make a difference to this planet by what they have learnt and show the power. and once this project will be sucessful, it can also prove refence and evidence for other unis that students can be relied on. Moreover, free vegetables.”
