Let us know if you are interested in any of the great projects below.\u00a0 If you have 3 hours per week to put into any of these and have an international positive impact for sustainability, please contact me at DebraRowe@aya.yale.edu<\/a>.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

1)\u00a0<\/span>Laboratory Waste Management Guide<\/span><\/div>\n
The Laboratory Waste Landfill Diversion Working Group of the\u00a0<\/span>International Institute for Sustainable Laboratories\u00a0<\/span><\/a>(I2SL) is developing a guide to reduce the type and quantities of laboratory waste streams. Get involved as a professional volunteer to help create this guide by working with the group\u2019s co-chairs to identify target waste streams, the potential recyclables involved, purchasing policies to support the guide, and creating the guide itself (<\/span>http:\/\/i2sl.org\/working\/labwaste.html<\/u><\/span><\/a>).\u00a0<\/span>The working group members have developed substantial information about their own laboratories which will serve as a foundation for the guide.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

2)\u00a0The\u00a0<\/span>International Institute for Sustainable Laboratories<\/span><\/a>\u00a0(I2SL) is planning a series of Town Hall meetings for panelists to discuss the many facets of emergency and extended laboratory closures. The issues to be included will consider at least continuity planning, operational requirements, remote and on-site access, and health and safety protocols.\u00a0 I<\/span>2<\/span>SL has engaged a team of academic, corporate and government laboratory managers to develop this series.<\/p>\n

Please contact us if you want to help with this. The candidate must have laboratory management experience as well as good communication and organizational skills.\u00a0 This is a position that will last no more than 6-8 months.<\/div>\n
3)\u00a0<\/b>I<\/span>2<\/span>SL\u2019s Sustainable Laboratory Improvement Maturity Matrix Working Group (<\/span>http:\/\/i2sl.org\/working\/continuousperformance.html<\/u><\/span><\/a>)<\/span><\/div>\n
This effort has been underway for 5-6 years and has been led by a laboratory manager from UC Davis, now an officer of I<\/span>2<\/span>SL\u2019s Atlanta Chapter.\u00a0 I believe the system, or matrix, is ready to be tested in a laboratory institution.\u00a0 However, to do so, potential test sites (likely university clients) needs to be identified, introduced and encouraged to undertake the trial testing of the matrix.\u00a0 The Fellow could be engaged to introduce the matrix, coordinate with the institutions\u2019 senior executives, and implement the matrix process with the various managers in specific responsibility centers of lab management (e.g., PIs, budget, operations, purchasing, EH&S and others).<\/span><\/div>\n

If you help with any of the above, we are glad to have you be a Fellow (unpaid but otherwise richly rewarded for sustainability impact) for the Higher Education Associations Sustainability Consortium.\u00a0 If you don’t want the title, but still want to contribute to the work, that is okay too.\u00a0 When you contact me, let me know which project(s) you are interested in.\u00a0 Thanks!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
