摘要：
I went into our lab meeting feeling dejected. For months, I had been trying to recycle some of our lab's plastic waste into 3D-printed lab tools, but it wasn't going well. I've only been able to print three small items, I told my colleagues. They knew how committed I was to reducing the environmental footprint of our research. So one asked, Maybe we should be thinking about how we can avoid having so much plastic waste in the first place? Another chimed in: Could we figure out how much energy we are consuming and how to reduce that? Their questions buoyed my spirits-and led to a series of changes in how we operate in the lab.
