Huge thanks to @HARK_Films for creating this for us, featuring the brilliant @reelsophiec. #AirPollution is the number one environmental risk to our health in the UK. We urgently need to reduce pollution. Spread the word - and join us. #CleanAir

Can we get these bins in our refurbed coffee shop at @northmidnhs to help increase our recycling? Not everyone coming to hospital site will have headspace to remember a reusable cup and this could help bridge between. 🙏
ALT Close up of a bin specifically for recycling hot drink cups. It’s in shape of a one-metre tall takeaway coffee cup with three holes in white lid marked “lid” “liquid” and “cup”, with bright green sign on top reading “recycle your coffee cup here”.

@NM_Environment @NorthMidNHS small but important thing waste and experience wise... any chance we can have real plates and cutlery back in the canteen? I imagine stopped for obvious infection control reasons (because its cheaper for our catering supplier not to wash up?)...

The cool sticks arrived today! Time to ditch the ethyl chloride for something cheaper and more sustainable! #sustainable #coolstick

Three overarching health messages from the latest IPCC report:
1. Climate change is already harming people’s health.
2. More action is needed to protect our health.
3. Climate solutions are ‘win-win-win’ for our health, the environment, and the economy.

The latest IPCC report contains 3600+ pages of overwhelming scientific evidence that the climate crisis is affecting every aspect of our lives.
At @healthy_climate we've tried to summarise in 20 pages what this means for our physical and mental health.

🚨Today we’re launching a new report – “Climate Change is a Public Health Emergency”.
It looks at the barriers and the things trusts can do, and are doing, to tackle climate change.

The CO2 of the internet, digital systems & hardware is 3.7% of global footprint & growing fast. Already same as airline industry. That’s why on Monday @Ecosia will be default search engine @uclh. Plants a tree for every 45 searches & is carbon negative. Who else will follow?

I absolutely LOVE how @UniOfSurrey encourages staff to participate in their staff survey this year! The University will be planting a tree for each response. What a great idea and certainly way better than some small goodies!

The amount of plastic waste from one cannula. It doesn’t need to be like this - it’s entirely possible to cut down on single use plastic while not compromising on patient safety. More conversations need to be had about #SustanibilityinMedicine among those in positions of power.

Incredible really that a single use laryngoscope blade is bad for the planet as we incinerate and don't recover the metal *and* for the working conditions of some strangers several thousand miles away. Add to this that single use is now Welsh government policy. 👎
