Greening Labs and Learning through the UBC Okanagan Department of Chemistry and UBC Green Labs
August 8, 2024. Chemistry students at UBC Okanagan are learning how to reduce the environmental impact of their laboratory work. Students now consider the origins and waste streams of chemical reagents in their assignments, and teaching assistants (TAs) lead discussions about sustainable approaches to chemistry to teach students how to make informed decisions about what reagents would be more sustainable to use based on environmental impacts.
