Looking forward to thinking upstream with Stephanie Barger, Mardis Bagley, and Rachel Greer at the National Zero Waste Conference. I'll be sharing how our work at the Mattress Recycling Council is working on making #ZeroWaste improvements across the full…https://t.co/Kr6vn4qqDJ

Looking forward to a conversation with Jill Ziegler and Jessica Hunt at the E+E Leader Summit. We close out the summit with "Developing a Strategic and Impactful Sustainability Program"

Looking forward to the National Zero Waste Conference #nzwconference2022 for the first plenary session with Stephanie Barger, Mardis Bagley, and Rachel Greer "Designing for Zero Waste" (https://t.co/6ZsREmWFwM). I'll be sharing my work with the Mattress…https://t.co/QM9WjkPVRb

As #waterscarcity increases, it's become clear that simply looking at your water bill isn't enough to be a good neighbor. With Kyle Myers at CyrusOne, we took a three-part approach to reducing the total water impact of a data cent…https://t.co/kUKKw4Jpdt https://t.co/evJR3gxgb3

As someone who has prepared a sustainability report or two, I always wonder who's reading these and if they "get it". Kuddos to DatacenterDynamics for excellent reporting on our recently published CyrusOne Sustainability Report.…https://t.co/ogqwtFkLwg https://t.co/w2GFmbpzKI

#Water is not #Carbon and Carbon is not water. When making important decisions (like whether to cool a facility by burning energy or water), you have to take a comprehensive, data-driven view. Come see how two seemingly similar f…https://t.co/o8eo1Fvmu4 https://t.co/XhG0z2fyvJ

[Ryan McMullan @LeanGreenRyan]

Sure we can measure #water, but what do the various water metrics mean? Here's the best way I've come up with to summarize:
#WaterWithdrawal is the impact of regional water stress on our operations (how much water we need to acces…https://t.co/Wv6gzs3xad https://t.co/pxYqAkHt3e

[Ryan McMullan @LeanGreenRyan]

Sure #datacenters need to be #zerocarbon, but how about #zerowater? Or does "burning" water to cool a data center save water when you consider the #electricity supply chain? Which electricity supply chain: yesterday's (#fossilfue…https://t.co/CfU3LH86v9 https://t.co/fu5yYwMKWY

[Ryan McMullan @LeanGreenRyan]

Because sometimes net zero isn't enough. I'm happy to report that we've taken CyrusOne's second largest data center to #netwaterpositive (the only other one in the world). In an industry where facilities can use millions of gallons of water per month, t…https://t.co/jglQo5bWuH

In case you were thinking that ESG isn't "real" disclosure.

If you missed our Zero Waste Boardgame at Greenbuild, @braun_denise and I were asked to play another game on the upcoming #TRUE webinar. Basically, the audience plays a fictitious facility with a starting position in its #zerowast…https://t.co/H0uNNoCiRU https://t.co/9Ybs4sZP9n

[Ryan McMullan @LeanGreenRyan]

Excited to be working with the Mattress Recycling Council to take #zerowaste thinking upstream, in search of #circulareconomy solutions. https://t.co/hQS3Q1XxSl

[Ryan McMullan @LeanGreenRyan]

While many have heard of the #energywaternexus, there's something to be said for the energy-water-nutrient nexus. Here's a good example of where energy and nutrients crossover, turning food waste into #biogas. https://t.co/hMOj1BhUS8

Did a guest lecture at the Bren School of Environmental Science & Management - University of California, Santa Barbara last week for masters students in corporate environmental management. To try to give them a real-world problem of the energy-carbon-wat…https://t.co/5EY0kYj7TJ

Great article on #zerowaste and #circulareconomy in the context of buildings and operations. Plus an impressive example of the largest single commercial property in the world to achieve TRUE Zero Waste certification and the first…https://t.co/ifZ0z1XN0d https://t.co/VbKDMy4viN

[Ryan McMullan @LeanGreenRyan]

I'm glad to see that someone else understands that PUE isn't the only #sustainability metric for success in #datacenters. Especially as water becomes more scarce, any metric that treats water resources as "invisible" is problematic, to say the least. https://t.co/TaDWGhRxMh

[Ryan McMullan @LeanGreenRyan]

I'm happy to report that in my #Greenbuild session with @braun_denise (https://t.co/EfAnTnPlim), our audience improved their facility 3R Rate to 93% and earned 37 #TRUEcertification Credits, enough to certify their facility! Here's their final facility #…https://t.co/1gk3K19j5R

It's almost showtime! @braun_denise and I have had a little too much fun making a game out of #zerowaste certification. Hope you'll join us! https://t.co/LQ5xEzRHEJ

[Ryan McMullan @LeanGreenRyan]

The #toyotaproductionsystem is all about recognizing and reducing waste, which is one of the reasons that it dovetails with #zerowaste approaches so well. But as I'm working on #sustainability for #colocation #datacenters, the phy…https://t.co/8xKw8oeJld https://t.co/yBLJxFjgqT

I'm looking forward to supporting @braun_denise's webinar series for USGBC-Los Angeles on TRUE #zerowaste and #circulareconomy. This time we set course for the more-challenging upstream waters of #zerowaste and how to reduce waste…https://t.co/zhLMESA9Kf https://t.co/I7hrbunxLc
