Copied from another newsgroup - thought may be of interest
My name is Keith,
I recently evaluated the Ecological Footprint of Sheffield Hallam University
for my dissertation.
It is a report for the university's Facilities Directorate who are very keen
on environmental
issues and are committed to their policy of minimising the environmental
presence of the university
on the city.
I did not use any EF database calculation tool available on the market, but
worked solely on
concepts and suggested calculations from the publications
'Our Ecological Footprint' and 'Sharing Nature's Interest'.
The results were analysed, and comparisons were made with those of Oxford
Brookes University to
try to determine whether the Facilities Directorate of Hallam University was
achieving its own
Environmental Policy Statement.
As of yet I have not received any feedback from the Facilities Directorate,
however my supervisor
thinks the work is worthy of a journal publication.
If anyone is involved with something similar at their
university/college/school and wishes to
obtain the results for comparison feel free to contact me on
