Earth Day 2021: Healthy people, healthy communities, healthy planet

22 Apr
Working together in healthcare for a healthier future

Every year, we have greater appreciation of our place in the healthcare industry and more incentive to expand the impact of Case Medical’s corporate sustainability efforts.

Environmentally conscious operations are part of the Case Medical way of doing business—from sustainable manufacturing processes to advocacy via the American Sustainable Business Council to our commitment to producing safer instrument chemistries aligned with the US EPA Safer Choice Program. In 2021, as science begins to turn the tide against the Covid-19 pandemic, we can see why humanity’s most important efforts require global, collaborative solutions.

“At the heart of Earth Day’s 2021 theme, Restore Our Earth, is optimism, a critically needed sentiment in a world ravaged by both climate change and the pandemic," said Kathleen Rogers, president of EarthDay.org. In honor of Earth Day, we’re sharing three past blog posts packed with real action steps and resources to help your department honor the planet through sustainable healthcare practices.

On the first Earth Day, April 22, 1970, 20 million people came out onto the streets across the U.S., an event that to this day remains the largest civic event in human history.

In the digital age, we can connect to our global community, communicate a shared purpose, and
commit ourselves to take action in personal and professional realms. Please share your sustainability efforts and plans for future action in the comments below!
