Table 2 Green Podiatry actions require variable effort, and involve a range of cost: benefits
Effort estimates | Action examples |
|---|---|
Easy, immediate | e-comms, e-records (data security!), reusable shopping bags, buy local, less packaging, turn off lights, adjust temperature settings re heat/cooling |
Some organisation | LED lighting, avoid packaging as much as possible, and set up recycling eg paper /plastics/ foils; use e-waste and recycling depots |
More commitment | Public transport/walk/ride a bicycle as possible (even 1–2 days/week to work – with a friend/colleague?), switch to renewable energy (add solar panels – work/home), car share commutes |
Bigger issues | Limit air travel, esp. long haul overseas |
Plan for an e-car | |
Purchase power (eg buy local) | |
