The further along the road we get, the more we are learning and the more we want to do. </div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We have lots happening in our school, and in October we are having visits to our planning days by 2 sustainability experts. Our goal is to next year have a sustainability audit undertaken so that we can have a clear vision of what else we need to do.</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b><br />

More specifically it involved planting a<br />variety of vegetables (see adjacent photos) on campus as part of the Otago Polytechnic (OP) Living Campus project. Michelle Ritchie (Manager, OP Living Campus) was very supportive as OP has a limited budget for activities relating to the Living Campus. The result is that the campus saves money and the students increase their gardening skills (a very sustainable approach within itself!).<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh22AnmAspKXBt0oXcChjAJa-0x8pgHQLgzGro1XZ7qDxoHJ7KdWLUOPjKxI8Gx2xNo8QklbRVwvH_s3SDZ7iIt-TDD7VBnXFtlNYtU7_PKNnctcplOBbN1PEzj_cJMF2igoUvPCjOY0cXk/s1600/OL+living+campus%25232.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 180px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5603502559473132594" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh22AnmAspKXBt0oXcChjAJa-0x8pgHQLgzGro1XZ7qDxoHJ7KdWLUOPjKxI8Gx2xNo8QklbRVwvH_s3SDZ7iIt-TDD7VBnXFtlNYtU7_PKNnctcplOBbN1PEzj_cJMF2igoUvPCjOY0cXk/s320/OL+living+campus%25232.JPG" /></a><br />The planting work completed by the students is<br />credited towards their Enviromental Science yr1 and 2 courses. DOLM lecturer Julie Grant plays a key role in guiding and supporting the students. Guest lecturers in these courses include people such as Nicola Bould (Coordinator, OP Sustainable Champions) and Michelle Ritchie. Recently they have learnt about and discussed soil quality as well as furtheirng their understanding of how a living campus operates, its benefits and overall importance in the promotion of sustainable practice.Matt Blairhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08028414581856032358noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4713927157677804466.post-64402566367798492332010-06-30T20:27:00.000-07:002011-05-06T00:39:38.434-07:00Otago Institute of Sport and Adventure (OISA)OISA has embraced sustainable practise.<br /><br /><div><br /><div><br /><br /><div>A recent example has been the purchase of a cycle trailer (see adjacent photo).

The features addressed ranged from use of water, food supplies and the materials used to build stadium structures.<br /><br /><br />While OISA has made a solid start in the 'care' factor that this area brings, it also recognises that an ongoing commitment is required to allow future generations to have and further the opportunities that are currently available.

<br />
Artists work to promote critical participation of people and communities in the natural, social and political contexts in which they live. It is acknowledged that a healthy and diverse biophysical environment is essential to ensure human activity.<br />
<br />
Artists often engage as social critics with the issues concerning individuals and communities who have been marginalised or alienated from society and/or whose human rights are neglected or abused. Therefore, artists are particularly concerned with issues of equity, social justice and at an individual level in promoting the essential balances necessary for sustaining a good life in the world we occupy. International symposia have recently focused on the relationships between sustainability and contemporary art. Social sustainability is seen as the infrastructure of a healthy community.<br />
<br />
Artists often work with low financial or material wealth and with communities and in organisations that have small budgets. To survive, artists need to be economically resourceful and to consider the environmental impacts of their activities. <br />
<br />
The School of Art actively works to reduce consumption of physical resources. The staff members are encouraged to conserve natural resources such as energy and water and to teach students how to recycle and to dispose of toxic waste material in sustainable ways. Within teaching, professional practice workshops further develop a focus on environmentally sustainable ways of making and presenting the outcomes of learning in the visual arts.<br />
<br />
The School of Art acknowledges that staff need to not only meet the education needs of the student but they should also provide leadership in areas that students might not have previously considered. Literature that addresses future themes in education supports the need for education to provide leadership in sustainability for the future of society. (See The Higher Education Academy, 2006.) As a consequence, artists and visual art educators need to be aware that certain choices, decision and actions they make might have an impact on global sustainability. Therefore, they need to consider what actions and changes they might need to make to support a more sustainable future for themselves and their students and for the wider communities within which they work.<br />
<br />
Art educators and students must gain a range of skills relevant to education for sustainable development. These include: visioning, influencing change, managing information, critical thinking, analytical skills, negotiation and mediation skills, and skills in listening and reflecting. These skills are also identified in the Forum for the Future (2004) as essential skills for a sustainable future. <br />
<br />
Obviously, material practices are central to the visual arts. The pragmatics of healthy and viable art practices have led to the gradual movement from toxic to non-toxic materials in all subject areas and the development of understandings of the correct use and disposal of chemicals and other waste materials. Artworks may be designed to endure for a long time and consideration is given to the ways in which they are made and conserved. Other artworks are necessarily temporary in nature and consideration must be given also to the question of the disposal and re-use of the material used in their construction. The developing visual arts industry in the field of the digital arts has also led to an increased awareness of how communities are created and maintained in the digital environment and the sustainability of the digital infrastructure.<br />
<br />
The visual arts have a major role to play in the ways in which communities operate. The experience of art is one of validation and critique, celebration and mourning. The wider contextualisation of art in the programme ensures that students understand the ways in which their work both cements and critiques the social order. Students and staff alike must also gain resilience in order to live successfully in the face of increased environmental challenge and its associated social effects.<br />
<br />
<b><br />
The School of Art works towards the following aspirations for sustainability: </b><br />
<br />
<ul><li>building links between the visual arts and the values that sustain community </li>
<li>retention of diverse material practices in the visual arts </li>
<li>development of support networks to sustain practices long-term </li>
<li>the development and retention of a collegial community </li>
<li>increased understanding of bi-cultural and multi-cultural issues </li>
<li>specific engagement with environmentally concerned art projects </li>
<li>appropriate decision-making around art materials and processes </li>
<li>avoidance of or mitigation of the impact of toxic material </li>
<li>cradle to the grave approach to the use of materials </li>
<li>appropriate decisions around the scale of visual art projects </li>

Capra (2009) states that “the way to sustain life is to build and nurture community” and this is equally relevant in sustaining recovery. Consequently there is an emphasis throughout the program on the value of community, community building and relationships. Students are introduced to a range of holistic models which encompass ideas about the interconnected nature of health and wellbeing and the idea that good health requires physical, environmental, mental, social and spiritual wellbeing.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <h2 style="margin: 12pt 0cm 3pt 42.55pt; text-indent: -42.55pt; page-break-after: avoid;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGFCGz70I3uNhleN7vFoYZP_svVSvlByIxZKyfNnXkP1xOIUpwJ2x5BVYN3S-olyzoDCEjuvJ38U7lPIwG8e2e245E29hDSRDSWstx4BmlLYaz68_RFV7omjRYS33_IYRldgdUIYuhBCny/s1600-h/jock+carry.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 211px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGFCGz70I3uNhleN7vFoYZP_svVSvlByIxZKyfNnXkP1xOIUpwJ2x5BVYN3S-olyzoDCEjuvJ38U7lPIwG8e2e245E29hDSRDSWstx4BmlLYaz68_RFV7omjRYS33_IYRldgdUIYuhBCny/s320/jock+carry.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444913659694186402" border="0" /></a></span></h2><p class="MsoBodyTextIndent"><span style=";font-family:";font-size:100%;" lang="EN-AU" >In term three systems and ecological models of practice are reintroduced in relation to networking and the importance of establishing networks and as a tool for working with mental health consumers, whänau, services and communities for positive change.

Engaging with nature in practical ways has a long history in mental health therapies. Many community based residential settings have client driven vegetable gardens.

In 2009 the campus saw a large increase in the international student population alongside those coming from out of district. Many of these students arrive without any form of transport. After a few discussions about this ‘Bikes on Campus’ was born.<br /><br />‘Bikes on Campus’ is an initiative to get students mobile. All students who now arrive at the campus can get a bike, helmet and lock for a small refundable deposit. When we started the project we had a whip round the community and staff, and all of a sudden we had 20-30 mountain bikes, helmets and locks. What is really pleasing about this was that mostly these were all donated. Now, looking back it all seems so simple and ticks a lot of boxes:<br /><br />· Students are mobile, particularly those who wouldn’t normally be able to afford a car<br />· Fitness and personal health are an excellent secondary outcome<br />· The bikes were often not being used and risked being dumped – very green recycling<br />· Car numbers are reduced<br />· The ‘feel good about Otago Polytechnic factor’ is huge<br />· There is no public transport in Cromwell – so it overcomes this hurdle<br /><br />It’s all good with this initiative – and I’m sure the same concept could be applied to a lot of resources to help students.<br /><br />For any further information send an email to <a href="mailto:alex.huffadine@op.ac.nz">alex.huffadine@op.ac.nz</a></div>Johttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01530190119426593257noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4713927157677804466.post-75581054148360038992010-02-11T13:53:00.000-08:002010-03-07T20:35:06.984-08:00Sustainable water use at the Central Otago Campus<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJ5DXbca5rcL-BARyD0yo_pg-nPsfyPe-clpPYb8ogsMOG6c0BOg137WExD191t7OIgEgaWno_10pJzNDmbSpyZNeKZJ8gul3OcmPzT1SjktkhD5R-BYOINLMnWdbV3rxoXsGQlQohvG0R/s1600-h/dry+plants+057.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 240px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5446114847918040562" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJ5DXbca5rcL-BARyD0yo_pg-nPsfyPe-clpPYb8ogsMOG6c0BOg137WExD191t7OIgEgaWno_10pJzNDmbSpyZNeKZJ8gul3OcmPzT1SjktkhD5R-BYOINLMnWdbV3rxoXsGQlQohvG0R/s320/dry+plants+057.jpg" /></a><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;">Water is fast becoming one of the global resource issues. Australia has and is still enduring over 10 years of drought and over 40% of the worlds population has life supporting water shortage issues. In New Zealand most of us take the availability of water as a given - this is changing, and fast. </span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Currently in Otago water for horticulture, farming, viticulture and lifestyle blockers is allocated through a range of permits, some of which date back over 120 years. In many cases these permits are called mining privileges, and all of these are up for review in 2021. This sounds a long time but the preparation and recording for renewal of these is a very lengthy process. </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">The Otago Regional Council is setting minimum flows for catchments where water is extracted using these permit, and in many cases the minimum flows will see a reduction in permitted water for users. This essentially means many farmers and growers will have less water resource. So where to – simply efficient sustainable practices are the only way to continue.</span><br /><br /><p><span style="font-family:arial;">Cromwell's water use in town skyrockets over summer, and peak use in summer is 600% greater than minimum winter use. Which means mostly garden use of treated water, meaning larger town water supply infrastructure and higher rates.</span></p><br /><p><span style="font-family:arial;">In response to this the Natural Resources team in Central Otago is making sustainable water use a ‘focus area’ in all programmes for learners, and in our own practical resources, that is the nursery, vineyard, cherry orchard and turf facilities. </span></p><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>What does all this mean for the lecturer and student on the ground at the Central Otago Campus?</strong></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">In making water a focus area we are looking at the issue of water holistically and we are integrating sustain water use into:</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><br />· <strong>Programmes</strong> – that is specific units on water, irrigation and sustainable best practices.<br />· <strong>Resources </strong>– walking the talk, with soil moisture monitoring and climate based water modelling at our practical facilities.<br />· <strong>Acting as a leader in water conservation landscaping</strong> via the nursery and in a consulting role to councils and to the community.(See picture of the Water Conservation Garden in Cromwell) Students were involved in establishing this garden and continue to help maintain it.Students also propagate drought tolerant plants and locally eco-sourced natives, as well as fulfilling contracts to supply plants for local green roofs.</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">· <strong>Upskilling staff</strong> in current best practices with water.<br />· <strong>Working with groups</strong> such as Irrigation NZ to provide workshops and technical seminars/field days for farmers and growers and possibly offering qualification in irrigation.</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><br />A couple of interesting issues regarding water in Otago – many catchments where water is extracted are overallocated for irrigation water – work that one out, water trading is becoming a closer reality where the ‘permitted users’ of water will be able to trade/sell their water to others. In Austraila water trading on line has been the saviour of many farmers and growers in the drought areas.<br />For any further information send an email to </span><a href="mailto:alex.huffadine@op.ac.nz"><span style="font-family:arial;">alex.huffadine@op.ac.nz</span></a><span style="font-family:arial;"> ( commercial irrigation and monitoring) or <a href="mailto:jwakelin@op.ac.nz">jwakelin@op.ac.nz</a> (for water conservation landscaping and green roof plantings specifically)</span></div>Johttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01530190119426593257noreply@blogger.com1
