Please forward to your lab as you see fit.
Thanks,

This *Thursday, September 22nd* the Green Labs Program has an afternoon of
events lined up for FAS. There will be a *Lab Freecycle from 12-2pm* in
the *Biolabs Courtyard*, followed by * free ice* *cream starting at 3pm* to
kick off the *Harvard Freezer Challenge*. If you have useful lab supplies
or equipment you would like to donate, please bring it by between 9am and
12pm that day. We have a TON of lab glassware and equipment, as well as
pipettes and consumables.
*Starting at 3pm there will be an ice cream truck parked in front of the
Peabody Museum.* Stop by and ask about the *Freezer Challenge* and get *a
free ice cream of your choice*! Sign your lab up for the Challenge and
enter the *raffle for a free box of lab supplies, *courtesy of VWR.
Did you know that by setting your -80°C freezer to -70°C, you can save
energy and reduce the risk of freezer failure? Several universities and
researching institutions, (including the CDC and NIH), are setting their
freezers to -70°C for just this reason. So far at FAS we have six freezers
set to -70°C for energy conservation, which is already saving over $1,000
and 2.7 metric tons of greenhouse gases annually. The goal is to get *50%
of FAS ultra-low freezers set to -70°C or warmer* in the next two years! A
big thank you goes out to the Murray Lab in OEB, and the Nocera Lab in CCB,
for being the first to set their freezers to -70°C or warmer*.*
Please mark your calendars for Thursday the 22nd, and share with your
groups! Questions? Email greenlabs(a)harvard.edu
Thank you!
