Green Your Lab

We're currently at the Love Tomorrow at Tomorrowland listening to ecologist Nadina Galle talk about how her childhood in Canada inspired her love of the environment.

Challenge: Where can you consider putting in a "pocket park" or a small "facade garden"?

EPA plans to cut scientific research, more than 1,000 employees could be fired As many as 1,155 chemists, biologists, toxicologists and other scientists — 75% of the research program's staff — could be laid off, according to documents reviewed by Democratic staff on the House Co...

Anyone else extremely concerned that the US Environmental Protection Agency is eliminating its scientific research office — firing all the scientists doing the research behind the rules safeguarding health and ecosystems from pollutants??

Thank you for doing your part for a better tomorrow. 🌍

For #SustainabilityTipTuesday we want to echo this message about donation and repair, with a shout-out our friends at EquipSent (equipsent.org) who connect labs and enable donation of functional equipment 🤗♻️ #sustainablelabs

#GreenLab Pro-Tip: Don’t throw away your old or broken lab equipment. Donate it to schools or other research groups who need it. #sustainablescience #donate 💡

This week's #SustainableTipTuesday is about computation - did you know there is a version of AlphaFold that uses 95% less energy than the regular version? Take a look below💡 #greenlabs

For #SustainabilityTipTuesday this week, we encourage you to review your chemical use, keeping in mind principles of #greenchemistry to find more sustainable 'solutions' 😉🧪

#GreenLab Pro-Tip:
How to reduce your plastic waste in the lab: buy liquid media in bulk and recycle your PET cell culture bottles. #GreenLabs #SustainableScience 🌎♻️

#GreenLab Pro-Tip:
Did you know that you can recycle your pipette tips, plastics and gloves in the lab? Check out awesome solutions from LabCycle and Terracycle
#GreenLabs #SustainableScience 😎🌿

#GreenLab Pro-Tip:
Don’t be a drip, refill your tips. Reuse your pipette tip boxes and fill them with bulk tips. #sustainablescience #pipettetips

#GreenLab Pro-Tip: Plastic doesn't mean single use! You can save money and resources washing, (even sometimes autoclaving), and reusing your plasticware. ♻️ #reuse

#GreenLab Pro-Tip:
Sometimes, plastic is unavoidable in the lab. But you can still minimize its impact by choosing the smallest option available. Smaller pipets, tubes, and containers mean less waste. 🗑️ #sustainableresearch

#GreenLab Pro-Tip:
Spreading E. coli on agar plates is a common technique, but it doesn’t have to involve plastic. Use glass or metal spreaders instead - they are easy to sterilize and reuse. 🔥 #spreadthelove

#GreenLab Pro-Tip: Petri dishes are great for growing cultures, but they are also a source of plastic waste. Try using glass ones instead - they are reusable, sterilizable, and better for the environment. 🌱#GreenChemistry

We're running a monthly lab sustainability challenge for labs at @ethzurich.bsky.social and UZH - join in to complete 10-minute challenges to make your lab more sustainable! uzh.us3.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=...

Interesting article highlighting strategies to reduce your labs carbon footprint.

The strategies outlined require collaborative action at all levels, and are projected to reduce the carbon footprint of three labs by 50%.
