Registration now open for Green Research Challenge

March 16, 2011

Ready…Set…Go Green

In May and June, laboratory-based faculty, researchers and staff on campus are competing for points in a variety of eco-friendly challenges in the first-ever Green Research Challenge.

Anyone who works in a lab and has a valid UBC CWL is invited to participate in the challenge. Challenge activities vary — from reviewing climate change documentaries, to assessing energy use in a lab. All activities present an opportunity to learn more about on-campus laboratory solid and hazardous waste programs, water and energy reduction and green purchasing options.

Prizes are given out each week for participating. A grand prize will also be awarded to the team with the most points at the end of the challenge.

To register, or find out more, visit the Health, Safety and Environment website.
