Green Labs is a certification program aiming to have students, staff and faculty participate in more sustainable and efficient laboratory practices. Key areas covered within the program include procurement, green chemistry, energy conservation and greenhouse gas emissions reduction, water conservation, and waste management. The program will empower participants with tools, knowledge, and peer learning to encourage sustainable behaviours and practices while maintaining high quality teaching and research space. Green Labs will give you the opportunity to build relationships across campus, introducing new skills into your lab, and making a positive impact on campus sustainability.
This is a key objective in the upcoming release of the campus’ first Sustainability Framework, bridging research, teaching and operations with day-to-day sustainable practices, fostering an engaged, healthy, safe and environmentally sustainable campus (Aspire).
