I am now a certified #MyGreenLab Ambassador 👨‍🔬

We are already trying to have a sustainable lab within #EuracResearch and our own #AlpSoil_Lab, but better learn every day how to reduce our professional impact on nature and climate! 💚🧪

We are surely not the only lab going for #FBSfree #cellculture ...

Any experience with HEK, Hela, or mIMCD3 here in the orbit?

We will be happy to share our experiences from the #Nephrolab in a few months 💚🐮🧬

📣 Latest update:
As expected: A reduction from -80 to -70°C reduced the consumption in this specific case by ~28% (from ~13 to ~9,4 kWh).

So this will save ~1300 kWh per year per freezer!

This matches everything I have found on the net. Nevertheless, it was important to test it for ourselves: Very illustrative & followed by very concrete measures.

📣 📣 📣 The shock of my day:

Over the last few days, I measured the power consumption of our -80°C freezers:

~13 kWh per day (each)

 So, one freezer consumes much more electricity per year than my family and me... 🙁

Now, we finally put them from -80°C to -70°C.
( & we need to minimize the number of samples we store)

An update will follow.

📢 📢 yesterday:

1st meeting of GREEN CECAD
- activists aiming to make work in research labs in and around CECAD more sustainable and 'green'.

Most important decision:
Let's get started and let's speed up!

 More coming soon.

Climate challenges should not just left to the private sector & individuals but research practises in academia need to be addressed as well.
Here is a great start to look into this based on experiences of other green initiatives.

Achieving sustainable transformation in science – green grassroots groups need nurturing from the top

ABSTRACT. Climate change is the greatest challenge of our time, and drastic climate action is needed urgently across industries and sectors to prevent the worst in terms of consequences. Although academic research brings great benefits to society, it leaves behind a considerable environmental footprint at the same time. This is particularly true for lab research within the life sciences. To reduce the climate impact of academic research, both bottom-up and top-down strategies are necessary. On the bottom-up side, ‘green’ grassroots groups are emerging in academia, but most institutions fail to nurture and harness their potential for driving change. We report findings from a survey of 63 such grassroots groups operating in academic environments, highlighting that their main challenges in making research more sustainable include lack of time, budget, involvement in management decisions and support from management. For the first time, we map the inception, goals and structure of green grassroots groups in academia and outline concrete steps in overcoming barriers to harvest their full potential, thus making academic research fit for the future.
