Why is lab sustainability so important? 🤔

Running an environmentally friendly lab helps funding go further - enabling better research, more resource & better facilities, whilst helping the environment. Find out how you can make big savings for your lab at #LabInnovations 2019.

Hi @Palletforce, anything to say about this? The driver was rude and unbothered that he had parked right across the cycle lane this morning too?

It's #WorldEnvironmentDay and here are a few ways you can help hedgehogs in your garden and community: 🦔
1) stop using pesticides
2) make wild areas in your garden
3) cut a hole in your fence
4) pick up litter
5) check for hogs when strimming
6) keep netting off the ground

An Easter treat for lab staff @unibirm_MDS, we ran a plant giveaway this morning! @UOBTechnicians Alison and Carolyn worked hard to provide a ton of plants for lab users to take away...providing they brought a piece of lab waste to re-use as the pot! 🌱🧪#plants #Sustainability

[UoB Sustainable Campus @UoBGreen]

@GilesKirkland This is great!
