Incorporating 'Green Podiatry' into your clinic, and into your life.
Angela Margaret Evans AmPublished in: Journal of foot and ankle research (2022)
Podiatrists have a shared responsibility to work and live as 'green' as possible, and to share this message with patients. Reducing waste, physically and in the form of unnecessary treatment, and supporting a review of supply chains, are important aspects of reducing health care emissions. Promoting feet as carbon-neutral transport, and physical activity as evidence based and health enhancing, are a sound contribution to twenty-first century public health. Podiatry has a great opportunity for positive legacy.
