York GP Practices join the fight to reduce CO2 emissions
GP Practices in York have joined together to help reduce carbon emissions in the City by prescribing greener products.
Their actions are part of a national campaign to support the climate emergency, reducing the carbon impact of patient prescriptions and helping reduce our carbon footprint.
Now all 11 Nimbuscare GP practices are taking steps to support this drive and have committed to two initiatives likely to save around a 1,000,000kg of CO2 emissions a year in York.
The most polluting items currently prescribed by GPs are inhalers, used to treat asthma, COPD and some other respiratory conditions.
