My Green Doctor

About

My Green Doctor is a free environmental sustainability and climate change program offered by the Climate Psychiatry Alliance to members of CPA.

Most offices save money in their first month using My Green Doctor. It works for healthcare clinics, offices, and outpatient centers. One practice with five offices is saving $1,500 per doctor every year and reducing its greenhouse gases, with no financial investment.

With My Green Doctor, offices and clinics learn to make gradual improvements in their uses of energy, water, chemicals, paper, and other resources.

The program is easy to use, adding only five minutes to each regular staff meeting.
