"Switch off the lights - get empowered for Earth" On Saturday the 23rd March 2024, 20:30-21:30 it is once again time for #EarthHour. The Green Labs community within the AstraZeneca BioVentureHub will show our commitment for a sustainable future. In addition to our Green Lab energy-saving activities that we currently undertake within our labs, such as cleaning out the freezers/fridges, unplugging electrical devices when not in use, and setting the right temperatures, we will also focus on energy savings at home, including: - Turning off lights and electricity when not in use - Only using dishwashers and laundry machines when you have a full load - Air-drying/hang-drying your laundry instead of using the drying machine And... why not eat vegetarian for your 23rd dinner? It may sound like the simplest thing on earth... but it has no effect if we don't do it. Our AstraZeneca R&D site in Gothenburg will, of course, follow that good example by turning off the lights in time. So why don't you follow the good example and also influence your circle of colleagues, friends and family to do the same! We can all contribute in some way. We will – will you?

🌍 How do you contribute to a greener planet at your hospital? In our Interventional Radiology department at HMC (Haaglanden Medisch Centrum) we're tackling waste head-on by separating and recycling plastics from disposable materials. You have to start with something♻️ Did you know? 7% of CO2 footprint in the Netherlands stems from healthcare. Let's make a change! According to research, over half of IR product waste is recyclable. Together, we can brainstorm eco-friendly solutions in #healthcare for a healthier environment. Do you have any ideas on this, or you know good initiatives? Please share your ideas! 💡 #InterventionalRadiology #GreenInitiative #sustainable #climatechange #recyling
