#greenendoscopy seems like a complex, insurmountable challenge. But it doesn't have to be. We're working to 4 principles to help structure change: "MINIMISE (waste), MAXIMISE (sustainable practice), DEVELOP (collaborations), ENABLE (improvements)". Other factors frame these 4

@drbinibaba @AlexMeining @GreenEndoscopy @ESGE_news @my_ueg @JoaoCunhaNeves @LeighDonnelly4 @SiwanTG @FrancesMortimer @DrBuHayee Thank you! Its an established procedure. Any other tips you can think of to save plastic during the endoscopic procedure?

@alexsworking @drbinibaba @AlexMeining @GreenEndoscopy @ESGE_news @my_ueg @JoaoCunhaNeves @SiwanTG @FrancesMortimer @DrBuHayee It's great to see an enthusiastic Twitter debate on Green Endoscopy. Keep on sharing those ideas. That's how we will make Endoscopy Sustainable 💚

🌎🥣An early gift from the North Bowl! Adding to our #Greendoscopy project, no more single use, plastic coated, non-recyclable, incinerated, social wash pots for us. Instead we're using reusable metal bowls. No waste, no fuss! 🥣🌎 @RCHT_SSD @RchtE

[Sustainable Hepatology @SustainableHep]

Governments at #COP27 seem to be opting for yet more dither & delay. That is *unforgivable*. The climate crisis is a health crisis. Most liver disease is preventable- slashing fossil fuels, active transport, clean air, plant predominant diets are good for planet & liver health.

[Sustainable Hepatology @SustainableHep]

Climate & liver disease r inter-related (@MhairiDonnelly et al). Public health measures aimed at liver dis tackle climate too. #CleanAirCOP27, slash fossil fuels, active transport, plant based diet.

Thank you for this analysis @chantelle_rizan

It is concerning that single use scopes are being proposed based on questionable data & analysis
