UCSC’s Green Labs program seeks to improve energy efficiency, increase green purchasing, and encourage water and waste reduction practices through behavior change, physical improvements, and education. In 2018, UCOP Sustainable Policy required all UC campuses to have Green Laboratory Program. UCSC’s Green Labs Program has been formally apart of the Sustainability Office since 2013.
This year, the UCSC Green Labs team will be focusing on re-certifying their partnered laboratories and handing out update Green Labs packages, anticipated to include recycling bins, signage, smart strips and other items to help labs operate sustainably. As a part of the recertification process, they will be helping labs retrofit outdated and inefficient equipment using funds awarded through the UCSC Carbon Fund.
