Otago University is establishing a sustainability village for students who want to live in a more environmentally conscious way.
Twenty - mostly second year students - have been selected to live in the three Great King Street flats, where overseas students would normally be housed. The tenants, who'll pay $180/ week each, will be encouraged to compost, garden, save energy, stay active and foster community - and they'll be studied while they're doing it. Kathryn talks with University of Otago Sustainability Office Head Ray O'Brien and one of the successful applicants, Ellen Walters.
