As part of #Earthmonth 🌍️, we wanted to show you how we are committed to running and environmentally sustainable lab. We are proud to hold Gold LEAF (Laboratory Efficiency Assessment Framework) accreditation demonstrating environmentally sustainable research practices. This may look like a bin full of used latex gloves, but it is so much more. We go through thousands of gloves every year and usually these would end up in an incinerator. We are working with MYGroup to ensure that our gloves get a second life. They will be recycled into low-carbon building materials and even works of art! This is just one of the ways that we are working towards being a more environmentally friendly workplace. #ImageOfTheWeek #lablife #phd #fungi #science #mycology #fungus #STEM #Biology #PhDlife #Biology
