    I am not surprised that the healthcare industry is impacting the environment. I have said it for years.
    I am encouraging others to make small changes to their daily routine in the clinic, like turning off lights, using only as many cleaning wipes as needed for the task.

    I must be more vigilant about what I put in the recycle bin- pizza boxes!
    I often throw glass in there, too, even though my area doesn't offer glass recycling and I think they should.

    in the wound center we use disinfectant wipes. we can make sure to only use the amount necessary for the job, instead of pulling a handful of wipes at a time.
