    How can you incorporate other personal values (like quality time with friends or spending time in nature) into your exercise routine?

    I usually will go for a walk in the community to see the sunset or sit by the pool

    What best helped you with your mindfulness or meditation practice? Did the practice become easier over time?

    Meditation isn't new to me. I use it as a sleep aid to help fall asleep or go back to sleep if I wake during the night.

    Lately I've been working on a table for Earth Day in my department to bring awareness about the environment.

    What surprised you most about the healthcare industry's impact on climate and health? What is one action you can take to make a positive impact?

      Why is that a surprise? I know at my healthcare organization there are tons of committees and employees that try to lessen our green footprint to the world. I am curious to hear what other organizations do too :)

    Does working with others toward a common cause motivate or inspire you to act differently than you otherwise would? How can collaboration lead to more sustainable outcomes?

    Working with others always helps to motivate you because you all will have different energy levels to bring to the table.

    One recent action that stemmed from the work of the ESSC at Orlando Health was changing the generic product we stocked for albuterol metered dose inhalers (MDIs). MDIs are medicaitons used by patients with certain lung diseases like asthma and COPD to help control their disease and treat symptoms. The propellant used in these medicaitons is the largest medication source of greenhouse gases in the United States because it is a refrigerant with an outsized impact on trapping heat. While we look to federal legislators and pharmaceutical companies to take action to change the type of propellant used in these MDIs, we are reviewing which choices are best currently, and found that the product we were stocking had a higher impact than other options. Now we will be stocking the best product, a generic version of Proventil, to decrease the impact of the heat-trapping effect of the metered dose inhalers we dispense at Orlando Health.

    Yes. Working with others in the sustainability space is what gives me so much hope and keeps me motivated to keep it going! I am so grateful for everyone on my team for the EcoChallenge! I also am so inspired by all of our team members on the ESSC, working in so many different areas of our health system, who are evaluating best sustainability practices and working to implement them.
