Addressing Climate Change in the Health Care Setting: Opportunities for Action
- Abstract
Combating climate change is not a finite goal but an ongoing effort. Whether focusing on fleet management, local sourcing, energy and water conservation strategies, or green energy, climate change response is a continuous process. The important thing is to get started. Initiate the conversation internally, get others excited about contributing, and tap into local expertise on climate change. Carve out 20 minutes a day just to research, read and reach out. Together, we all can help reduce our carbon footprints in health care to ensure a more sustainable, healthier environment for patients, workers and our surrounding communities. Here are a few ideas to help you begin the process:
