Diagnosing the Carbon Footprint of Healthcare

After the Copenhagen Climate Summit, there has been an urge to reconsider the harm created by industries across the world.
Healthcare is no exception to this; in fact the burden is more, because they are the end users of devices, services, and drugs. There are a few simple practical measures companies and institutions in the healthcare arena can take, in order to reduce their negative impact on the environment.
