Create a Green Committee/Sustainable Team

Set up a team of employees to help guide your hospital/laboratory into making more sustainable and green decisions. This will help educate the entire facility and also improve interaction and collaboration between employees who may not have gotten to work together previously.

Try Switching to Eco-Friendly Office Snacks

Support sustainably produced snack, coffee and tea companies by providing them for your hospital/laboratory (if that’s the case). Be on the lookout for companies that are local to your area to further reduce your carbon footprint. Help to keep your team happy and energized by providing sustainable and nutritious options, such as organic fruits and vegetables.

Encourage Green Commuting

You can encourage employees to lower commuting emissions by walking, biking, carpooling, or taking public transit to the hospital/laboratory, and offering incentives to do so.

Create monthly green challenges

Monthly team challenges can be a fun way of combining competition and going green. For example, you can challenge your hospital/laboratory to go a month with no plastic eating utensils, and reward those who stick with it by offering small prizes.
