Hi, I am Otto Jutila I am in 2nd year Biomedical Science and I am running for vice president of Environment and Ethics. I am the President for the newly founded LivEco that is carrying on the environmental projects being the popular zero waste cafe, veg bag and the bike hire scheme. Also, heavily involved volunteering with the Go Green Projects. So, I feel that I have the leadership experience, dedication and knowledge for this role.
My aim is to push and promote more ethical and environmental choices for the union and the university. I feel that the ethical consideration in this university isoften forgotten about. Also, I feel the environment is the of the utmost importance as well since it is where we live, it is the water we drink, the air we breathe and the landscape we live in. I hope to push RGU union to curb its environmental and ethical footprint. Small changes add up and can lead to a significant difference.
