Sii Eco-Group
The carbon footprint of a scientist is higher than that of the average person. With our heavy use of plastics, chemicals and energy-dependent pieces of equipment, we’re among the least environmentally friendly industries in the world.
In an effort to improve our green credentials, we've formed our School's Eco Group. Our goal is to improve sustainability within Sii by:
Increasing Recycling
Reducing plastic waste
Encouraging Sharing of Resources
Modifying lab practices
Reducing water waste
Reducing electricity usage
