Considering sustainability in your practical

This course has been developed in collaboration with PFO and the Material Flow Management team to promote sustainability during WUR lab practicals. Laboratory research uses a tremendous amount of resources, and educational practicals tend to do so as well.

In this online module you will learn about various aspects of sustainability and how you can apply them to your lab practical to reduce waste and promote greener labs. There are also discussion fora in the BrightSpace environment, so you can discuss with fellow teachers and PFO what kind of initiatives you are taking and where you would like some advice.

Learning outcomes:

• Recognizing why more sustainable practices could be included in your course
• Awareness of tools and suggestions to implement achievable changes to greenify your practicals
