Doing the basics well (not just shiny tech/gadgets) is a huge part of reducing emissions & we need to recognise + embrace that. We have just tested a simple change to the hot water system in a big university building & it reduces energy use by ~20%. Users won't notice. Yay for the simple stuff!

Happy #SustainabilityTipTuesday! This week, we want to encourage any of you who help to organise meetings, workshops and conferences to consider offering a virtual option to reduce travel-related emissions ✈️

Happy #SustainabilityTipTuesday - today, we want to shamelessly promo our new LinkedIn page, which you can find and follow here: www.linkedin.com/company/gree...

Students are leading the charge for #GreenChemistry education at @queensuglobal.bsky.social. 👏🌱 Q-ACS helped bring the Green Chemistry Commitment to the Department of Chemistry and launched programs like “Which Is Greener?” to advance sustainable science on campus. Read more. buff.ly/xfvJDAt

It's always a good time to think about your chemistry protocols - could you replace harmful chemicals like TFA with something more benign? #SustainabilityTipTuesday

If you're taking some time out of the lab 🏖️, make sure to switch off🔌your computer (+screens!) and any other equipment you won't be using to save energy ⚡💡 #SustainabilityTipTuesday

Happy #SustainabilityTipTuesday! Today, we encourage you to collect and reuse plastic bags that come with consumables, kits and other lab materials. These can have a second life as bin liners, or for storing/shipping materials. #greenlabs

This week's #SustainabilityTipTuesday is all about measuring the impact of your actions - as scientists we are convinced by data, and putting numbers on sustainability improvements can help to keep motivation high! Nice example of this below 👇

Happy #SustainabilityTipTuesday! This week we encourage reflecting on the environmental impact of work that you do, perhaps in the framework of a life cycle analysis - nice example below!

Happy #SustainabilityTipTuesday ! Today we want to share this nice overarching graphic about how us scientists can make a difference in sustainability - both inside and outside the lab 🌱

Happy #SustainabilityTipTuesday ! Today we remind you that choosing plasticware that fits your experimental needs can help to minimise waste 🗑️

Does your lab have *that one room* where the light is always on, even if nobody is in there? Reminders like these can help to save energy by switching off the light 💡 #SustainabilityTipTuesday #greenlabs

Another #SustainabilityTipTuesday about computation - this time, raising awareness about simulation efficiencies! If you run a lot of simulations, making sure they are efficient can have a big effect on their environmental impact 🖥️🌱 #sustainablelabs #greendisc

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

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' 😉🧪

Happy #SustainabilityTipTuesday ! Today, we encourage you to map out cold storage use in your lab ❄️ This helps keep an overview of empty spaces and unneeded samples, and lets you make the most of your fridges and freezers without wasting space and energy!

For #SustainabilityTipTuesday this week, we second this 🧽 'Single-use' plastics such as Falcon tubes, Eppendorfs, cuvettes, reservoirs, microtiter plates and weighing boats can all be washed and reused in the lab!

Happy #SustainabilityTipTuesday - this week's tip is about reusing aluminium foil! Try setting up a collection point in the lab for clean foil, which can be reused for autoclaving, wrapping light-sensitive solutions, or anything else you can think of ♻️

Check out this great story on reducing plastic waste from researchers at @mcgill.ca - lots of actionable tips for labs everywhere! ♻️ www.nature.com/articles/d41...

For #SustainabilityTipTuesday this week, we remind you that office spaces are part of labs too! Below are some tips to promote sustainability in offices and dry labs 🌱

Thrilled to share that we have been awarded the Gold #LEAF 🌿🥇 certification by @ethzurich.bsky.social #GreenLabs for our efforts toward becoming a more sustainable lab!

Happy #SustainabilityTipTuesday! This week, our tip is to celebrate efforts to make lab spaces more sustainable - last Wednesday, we celebrated the #LEAF certification of 22 labs at @ethzurich.bsky.social 🤗🥳

Very happy to see that our lab has reached the Gold 🥇 certification of #LEAF 🍃 for our efforts to become a more sustainable lab environment. @quidantsnsl.bsky.social #greenlabs #sustainability

You'd never leave all the lights on at home for the night - and the lab is no different! Memes can be a fun way to remind colleagues to switch off lights and equipment when they're not needed #SustainabilityTipTuesday #ScienceSky

This week's tip for #SustainabilityTipTuesday is to mark your calendars for 29 April 📅 and join this @embl.org *free* *online* symposium all about sustainability in labs! Registration below 👇 #ScienceSky
