This article highlights the importance of incorporating environmentally sustainable practices within dermatology in response to the growing climate crisis. It outlines the considerable waste and carbon emissions generated by dermatologic procedures, such as Mohs micrographic surgery, and demonstrates how interventions like standardised surgical sets, reusable instruments, and waste audits can reduce environmental impact without compromising patient care.
