Today's Topic is "How to make Hospitals more "Green"".
- Wind Turbine's for power. In some locations this might be a viable solution to cut down on generator usage.
- Solar Power. Depending on location and climate this might also be a viable solution to cut down on generator usage.
- Turning off all non essential devices at night, or when they aren't being used.
- Creating their own farms to supply food to the hospital that they in turn provide back to the patients and staff to eat.
- Regular generator maintenance and upgrades.
- Offer "Natural" or "Holistic" medicine departments and treatments in the hospital.
- Buy higher quality equipment and supplies to cut down on refresh cycles.
- Cut medical and bio waste however possible.
- Continuing hospital education to keep the "Green" culture at the front of everyone's mind.
- Offer an incentive program for anyone who comes up with a "Green" idea for the hospital, and an "Action" plan on how to make it work at the hospital.
