 Subject: Invitation to University of Sheffield research on
 sustainability
 To: admin at hazelhurst.coop [2]

 Dear Hazelhurst Agricultural Cooperative,

 I am a researcher at the University of Sheffield working on
 INTERSECTION, a cross-national project about intergenerational justice,
 consumption and sustainability. Our research looks at the things people
 buy and use, their views on the environment and their ideas of fairness
 and the future. We are interested in comparing across generations and 
 in
 three countries at different levels of development: China, Uganda and
 the UK. This work is funded by the Arts & Humanities Research Council
 and you can read more about it at www.sheffield.ac.uk/intersection [3].

 I am getting in touch because I am looking for individuals and families
 from Sheffield to take part in this research, and I wonder whether this
 is something that would be of interest to your members? Specifically, I
 am recruiting people interested in either:

 	* A three generation family interview (young
 person/parent/grandparent).
 	* An individual interview about shopping habits and views on the
 environment.
 	* A discussion group with people of a similar age.

 I am looking for people aged 16 or over, of all backgrounds and
 generations, and am especially looking for help identifying more three
 generation families. People do not need to have a particular interest 
 in
 or knowledge of environmental issues to take part; I am glad to hear
 from people with a wide range of opinions.

 I have some flyers (attached) that I can deliver; and I would also be
 happy to come to a meeting to introduce the project, if you think this
 would be appropriate. I find people are more likely to take part if 
 they
 can meet a real person and ask questions! If you think you could
 introduce me to some of your members or you would like me to come and
 talk about the project, you can get in touch by email or on 07736 
 480924
 to arrange a convenient time. Alternatively, there is an invitation
 below that you can include in a newsletter or email.

 I do hope this will be of interest and look forward to hearing from 
 you.
 

 All the best,

 Kristina

 COULD YOU BE THE VOICE OF A GENERATION?

 INTERSECTION is a research project about fairness between generations 
 in
 the UK, China and Uganda, in particular the things people buy and use
 and their views on taking care of the environment. We are looking for
 Sheffielders aged 16+ to take part in individual interviews, and also
 for families where three generations (e.g. young person, parent and
 grandparent) are happy to be interviewed.

 This is a chance to have your say on what makes society work for people
 of all ages, and we hope to take these views to policy-makers. We would
 like to hear from people of different backgrounds and opinions – you
 do not need to be an expert on environmental issues! If you are
 interested, please contact Dr Kristina Diprose by email
 k.diprose at sheffield.ac.uk [4] or telephone 07736 480924, or visit our
 website: http://www.sheffield.ac.uk/intersection/takepart [5]

 INTERSECTION is based at the Universities of Sheffield and Leeds, and
 funded by an Arts & Humanities Research Council Care for the Future
 grant.
