I was talking to a marketing manager and a course co-ordinator of a prominent university over Christmas. Seemingly out of 3,300 open course places for first year students, only 120 signed up for a degree in 1 of their 7, what they would call environment and sustainability/green courses.
They have spent a lot of money on advertising and providing a focus on it but they just cannot get many young people to apply. They were finding it hard to justify the budget spend going forward. Young people are not voting with their feet it would seem and one of them pointed out that for many interest in climate change is quite superficial and doesn’t extend beyond social media. I asked what other universities are doing and they commented they are seeing the same attitudes across the board.

Have they tried getting Greg O Shea to Instagram about it?

Yeah maybe they need to pay Roz Purcell 5 grand to walk through the campus in a Patagonia sweater.

young people hate boomers like you shoving climate change propaganda at them and want no part in it beyond a few likes on social media

Little_Lord_Fauntleroy · January 4, 2023, 3:06pm

I’ve said it on here before, Greta aside, teenagers are the worst offenders. They just don’t care about Climate Change, travel, air miles, recycling properly.

Primary school kids are generally great. It’s a great little side subject for the teachers, but teenagers are a disaster. Something needs to be done @Little_Lord_Fauntleroy, double points for environmental subjects or something like that. If we can do it for the Irish language then we can do it for Ireland.

I’m sure some more doss days for climate would help.

Especially on Fridays.
