We're Green!

Did you know our hospital has gone green?  Yup, did it about a year ago.  Our hospital policy manual has a section detailing our "environmentally friendly policy."  We sort our refuge by paper, plastics, canned items, batteries, etc.  We have installed motion sensors for certain rooms (our examination rooms' lights are set to turn off after 15 minutes of no motion).  Equipment is turned off at the end of day.  We attempt to purchase the products with the smallest carbon footprint (that extends even to the type of syringes we buy).  Our cleaning products are the most nontoxic we can find that still work.

Next time you are in the office, ask us about the policy.  If you have any suggestions or ideas, let me know!
