Researchers in France have developed a new open-source tool to help scientists understand and reduce the carbon footprint of their labs. From the 500 or so labs that have already used the tool - called GES 1point5 - the researchers have discovered that heating, travel and commuting are the main factors that contribute to a lab's carbon footprint. The team also finds, however, that there is no one-size-fits-all strategy that allows research groups to reduce their emissions (to appear in Environmental Research: Infrastructure and Sustainability)
