CERN is 13 and considering the environment

By Danny Harrington, MD ITS Education Asia

The large hadron collider at CERN was started up on 10^th September 2008. In 2021, CERN has focused on a year of environmental awareness. They are focusing on emissions, energy, waste, water and radiation from the facility and providing a good example of how we can balance our need for activities (such as advancing scientific knowledge) with an awareness of their impacts and most importantly concrete action to minimize or eliminate those impacts.
