Resources- What we offered teams participating in iGEM goes green
The GoGreen Guide
This Guideline gives useful tips for how lab work can be more sustainable by thoughtful planning and conscious usage of resources. Furthermore, it contains suggestions for more environmental friendly conferences and meetings. The guideline also outlines how greenhouse gas emissions of a lab and for flights can be calculated and compensated for. Most of the tips are easy to implement in a daily working routine and do not require a lot of effort for scientists to adopt.
