If you’re curious about why your lab earns points for certain actions in the Freezer Challenge, we invite you to an upcoming webinar that will cover this and much more. Christina Greever of My Green Lab and Kathryn Ramirez-Aguilar of CU Boulder join forces to explain current cold storage best practices, and why these best practices benefit the environment and your wallet. Other benefits of efficient cold storage will also be discussed, such as improved resiliency, optimized use of freezer resources, and reduced infrastructure, space, and utility needs that lead to lower overhead costs. If you know of others who would like to learn more about the Freezer Challenge via webinar, please share this information with them too.

I like that you mentioned how cleaning out your cold storage will help energy efficiency. My wife has her own small business and we recently had to find a place with cold storage. Thank you for the tips and I will talk to her about cold storage best practices.
