The Green Hospital Project

Why do hospitals host retailers selling endless plastic bottles, let alone their unhealthy contents? When you go to a health spa you usually see healthy products on sale. Hospital shops and canteens routinely promote trash #greennhs

@ClimateDad77 Very true

Most of us will be forced to give up flying, driving, eating meat & dairy (& everything else!) when society collapses - likely within decades, very possible within years. But if enough of us CHOOSE to give up these things NOW we might just build a future where our kids survive.

BP, Shell and the like, currently - ramping up fossil fuel plans - hiking prices - making ever greater profits Our PM says we shouldn't tax them more, as that would "discourage them from making the investments we want to see". Right.. theguardian.com/environment/ng…

This:

Last night’s #panorama has really shocked people. There is no need to abuse cows. You can join the millions of us ditching #dairy for health, planet & ethics. Sign up for #Veganuary (any month) veganuary.com/try-vegan/ or @plantbasedhpuk 30day challenge. Always here to help! 💚

There is so much potential for hospitals to learn from this evidence & put meals that support personal & planetary health at the top of our menus #plantbased #planetfriendly

And the 'super rich' are most of us reading this

This is the kind of endemic mentality in our culture - profit, convenience and self preservation above all else- that needs to fundamentally change. theguardian.com/environment/20…

At some point in the future you’ll give ANYTHING to be able to come back to this point, now, and do something about it. #ClimateEmergency

"We don’t prioritize the climate today. Our goal isn't to lower emissions. Our goal is to find solutions that allow us to continue life today. Of course you can ask “Can’t we have both?” But the uncomfortable truth is that we've left it too late for that." washingtonpost.com/magazine/2021/…

Sustainable healthcare starts with sustaining health. It is inordinately resource/carbon/staff/money intensive to treat disease when so much could be prevented

Not only anaesthesia but all of healthcare..

This summer I lived through the heat dome in Canada. Fearing for my relatives, trying to stay calm and breathe the searing air. Now on heels of #COP26 living through floods & landslides & towns being evacuated. I’m done.

@RevolutionZERO1 Amen

@the_GHP_ Agree The secret to happiness (and survival) is to lower your/our expectations. Reduce - Reduce - Reduce Be Happy 🙏🌍⚕️

With stats like these, isn't it clear that we can't invent out way out. We need to urgently simplify our lives

Likely true of many operations

As a society, as a species, we must start doing the right thing instead of always just the profitable thing.

Spot on

The @CocaCola company and its hundred of brands produce 3500 plastic bottles a second. More than 200,000 a minute. Most destined for landfill. Until we boycot these corporations, our reusable coffee mugs and water bottles pale into insignificance
