Green Labs Initiative: The Green Lab Certification survey aims to raise awareness of the environmental impacts of doing science (–especially lab-related but also fieldwork and data analysis/cloud computing), and to encourage avoidance/reduction/mitigation of at least some of those impacts where feasible, appropriate, and possible.

SustainabilityAction: The SustainabilityAction group aims is to serve as a catalyst to promote and enact more environmentally sustainable practices on Queen's campus and beyond, and so we rely on individuals coming forward with specific ideas that as a group we can help to make progress on.
