you have to protect the earth for future generations maybe the
philosophical and
true answer in the we have our garbage hamper clear bags
in the past the recycling have to look identical but there was a laminated sign
saying recycling but if was turned the other way
people in this early have the time to move over and look at it so
garbage would go into recycling hamper now we have a blue bag
still has a sign
but if it's flipped around you still know it's recycled we noticed many times
because the bags with the same one
dirty pair gloves that was removed by
an individual if it's thrown into the recycled paper now it's all contaminated
and it goes to the garbage hazardous wastes costs may be five to eight times
more than you know ways to process
so if somebody's doing general garbage it's not
contaminated into yellow are hazardous bags
you can imagine that it's gonna cost the hospital more it's unnecessary
you know these things have to be incinerated we use a lot of syringes in
our business and
hospital-wide in all their wrappers are
recyclable most cities plastics that these things come in
are recyclable for items
give general anesthetics many a time we're using these tubes
and their wrappers are recyclable it's important
to know that you're health care institution a type of organization that
generates
a lot above waist 1 percent of the country's waste comes from its hospitals
is a statistic and
that's a lotta waste so I think the community will be proud we ourselves
would be proud as an institution
if we're doing the best we can knowing how much
least we generate
