The office is already doing quite a bit to preserve our environment. We use far less disposable products than the average dental office, opting for washable bibs and headrest covers as well as stainless steel suction tips that can be sterilized instead of the plastic, one-time use variety. However, we were reminded of other ways to go green such as emailing statements and appointment reminders instead of sending the paper version and making sure all our light bulbs are compact florescent or LEDs.
Our next big step will be getting certified as a green dental office by the Eco Dentistry Association. We will provide documentation to them, showing that our carpets are made of recycle material, the walls were painted with low VOC paint, etc. This may take some time, but we are always up for a challenge!
When not learning about going green, the foursome went hiking, shopping, and general exploring.
