Make healthcare more sustainable with this innovative carbon footprint calculator! Drawing on data from the Sustainable Healthcare Coalition's Care Pathways, it estimates the carbon emissions (kgCO2e) associated with various healthcare services. By breaking down emissions from different activities, it reveals where you can make the most significant impact in reducing your carbon footprint: Home page - Care Pathway Calculator
