"As Director of Environmental Services in my current role, I have been an active participant in our hospitals green initiative since its inception six years ago. In my department alone, we have implemented policies and procedures that have greatly reduced our water usage and completely revamped how we safely dispose of chemicals and cleaning agents we use around the facility. These are just a small part of the work that the group has implemented and in a cost savings analysis done just last year, it was estimated that our green initiatives have saved the organization close to 2 million over five years on top of being more environmentally friendly."
