Here is a letter i got from Tush (and I second it!!)

I would hereby like to give my endorsement to Mark Newton for 2008 Environmental Officer. Mark is the ideal candidate for the role. He is not only in his 1 ^st year of Masters in Environmental Studies, but has been a member of Gecko; the university environmental club since Gecko began in 2004. He is a tutor for ENVI 114, a class working on environmental projects at university (in association with both the VUW and VUWSA), and already has an established working relationship with VUW. He is a member of several different environmental organisations around the country, and therefore has many environmental contacts outside of the university.

Much of the work I have done over the last two years, in terms of making the university a more sustainable campus, go unreported in the student media, as it is not glamorous enough to be published on a regular basis. However, the results are there, but to continue the work, the role needs an experienced person to take over. I am happy to go on the record that Mark Newton is the ideal candidate. If you believe that the university needs to become more sustainable; then VOTE FOR MARK.
