How Can Nurses Contribute to Sustainable Waste Management?
Nurses can play a pivotal role in sustainable waste management by:
- Segregating Waste: Properly sorting waste into appropriate categories (e.g., recyclable, non-recyclable, hazardous). - Reducing Waste: Minimizing the use of disposable materials when safe alternatives are available. - Educating Peers: Teaching colleagues about sustainable practices and the importance of waste reduction. - Participating in Audits: Engaging in waste audit programs to identify areas for improvement.
