Green Labs is a certification program aiming to have students, staff and faculty initiative more sustainable and efficient laboratory practices. Key areas covered in Green Labs 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.
