The sustainability of Cornell University labs is being addressed institutionally and by student grassroots efforts. The developing Green Labs program intends to connect the resources of the University with the motivation of those in the student population. This program focuses on chemical management and use, energy conservation, solid waste management and reduction, waste reduction, water use reduction, purchasing decisions and other innovative practices laboratory groups are already doing. Through this program we hope to bring about the safety culture change and reduction in carbon impact of labs by educating and engaging the students before they graduate. This presentation discusses this year's efforts in making this connection and engaging students.
