Our project is about looking for opportunities to reduce the carbon footprint of the perioperative environment and that includes the operating theaters. The project is about reducing the use of volatile gases which are a small but significant contributor to greenhouse gases. We are a multi faceted working group providing advice and education on sustainability in the operating theaters. Healthcare contributes to roughly 7% of Australia's carbon footprint. Of that 30% comes from the operating area and approximately 25% of that is attributed to anesthesia. We're trying to implement projects that reduce the carbon footprint in the anaesthetic department in northern Sydney local health district and by doing that we're improving the lives of future generations in New South Wales.
