#SustainableScience might not be on your mind, but take a look at our #labwaste Christmas
2020 vs 2019. Non-recyclable plastic waste is a large part of our waste stream at #Vision1 @teagasc, so we changed to Rainin tips @Anachem which are 100% recyclable...

The other reason for our smaller (cuter) tree is #COVID19 Silver lining
? No weigh boats ordered since 2018, 10,000 unit reduction in inoculation loops and reuse of pipette tips for non sterile work 



Can we do more? YES. The most important part will be monitoring the impact that changes in practices/procurement have. Suppliers need to do better. Shout out to Elaine Lawton, @sligomicrobe and @pauldcotter for keeping #Vision1 green. To the tree builders past and present
