Issue 35: Making MSM Green

A committee including students and staff members has been assembled to address sustainability in the Department. They are working within the framework of the Cambridge Green Challenge to reduce the environmental impact of life and research in the building. First actions included the clarification of the procedures for waste collection and recycling, the trialling of a recycling scheme for laboratory gloves, and the provision of more vegetarian food options in the Common Room. More initiatives will be underway soon and the committee welcomes suggestions of other issues to work on.
