USU Green Lab Program
The Green Lab Program is an initiative to develop more sustainable practices in USU laboratories. The program involves collaboration between the Green Certifications coordinator and the lab's Green Team to make changes by completing the certification process. Throughout the certification, areas that need improvement as well as areas where the labs are succeeding are brought to light. From there, the lab's green team and coordinator set goals of how to improve further.
