Going Green: Jacksonville Nephrology's Conservation Efforts

11/22/2022

Conservation is a passion of ours and we believe that every little thing adds up. Dr. Munjal believes in taking care of our environment and reducing our carbon footprint. Read more to learn how we work to reduce, reuse, and recycle. 

How we work to conserve:
  • Electronic Records: We use an Electronic Health Records (EHR) system to eliminate paper charting. 
  • Reduction in paper waste: We work to reduce how much paper waste we create by limiting what and how much we print. Most of our paperwork is available on our website or patient portal. Patients can also receive lab orders, visit summaries, and other important information via their patient portal. We also electronically send or fax all orders to the patient’s requested facility. 
    • For access to the patient portal, you can call our office or go to our website here.
  • Recycling from deliveries: All boxes received from deliveries are recycled in various ways like stimulating play for children, moving and storage, or straight into the proper recycling bins.
  • Solar Panels: As we are located in the Sunshine State, Dr. Munjal hopes to have solar panels installed to help generate additional and affordable energy for our office. 
  • Electric Cars: In an effort to reduce fossil fuel consumption and emissions, Dr. Munjal supports the use of electric cars.
  • Automatic Lights: Some of the lights in our office run on a sensor and timer to reduce the amount of energy used throughout the day. 
  • Reusable dishes: We use ceramic or plastic plates, bowls, and mugs when eating in the office. We also have metal coffee stirrers, silverware, and straws at our coffee stations to reduce single-use plastic waste. 
  • Halloween Candy Wrapper Recycling: In an effort to reduce waste after Halloween, we use a special Halloween candy wrapper waste bin by Rubicon as a part of the “Trick or Trash” mission in partnership with the National Wildlife Federation.
We hope to see a greener future and will continue to do our part to reduce our carbon footprint through our conservation efforts. How do you work to reduce, reuse, and recycle?
