In this Episode Raj Patey talks about the amazing work My Green Lab are doing to promote sustainable lab practices. My Green Lab is fundamentally and permanently improving the sustainability of scientific research. As a non-profit organisation, they were formed to unify and lead scientists, vendors, designers, energy providers, and others in a common drive toward a world in which all research reflects the highest standards of social and environmental responsibility. Run “for scientists, by scientists,” they leverage their credibility and track record to develop standards, oversee their implementation, and inspire the many behavioural changes that are needed throughout the scientific community. Though My Green Lab focuses solely on laboratory environments, they believe their activities will excite similar changes across other industries, and in the private lives of the millions of people who spend their time in labs.
