This short webinar starts with the current climate crisis: what global warming is, its effects such as extreme weather, drought, fires, floods and stress on ecosystems, and which gases and activities produce greenhouse gases. It also looks at Australia’s waste statistics.
It then identifies the biggest environmental impacts of vet clinics, including paper, plastic consumables, incorrect disposal, stock and medication wastage, electricity, water and chemical disposal, and finishes with practical ways to reduce your clinic’s impact through sustainable alternatives, repurposing, recycling programs, and careful electricity and water use.
Presented by Rychelle Blake at the 2021 ACVN Student Conference.
