How Do Healthcare Facilities Contribute to Carbon Emissions?
Healthcare facilities contribute to carbon emissions in several ways:
Energy Consumption: Hospitals and clinics consume large amounts of energy for lighting, heating, cooling, and running medical equipment. Waste Generation: Medical waste, including single-use plastics and packaging, requires energy to produce and dispose of, contributing to carbon emissions. Transportation: The transportation of patients, staff, and supplies adds to the carbon footprint of healthcare facilities.
