Launch of The NHS Forest
Tue, 2009-10-06 11:00 to 14:30
The NHS Forest Launch is to be held to celebrate the NHS Forest and to showcase the work carried out so far at the pilot sites around the country. It will provide the publicity and impetus for Trusts throughout the UK to sign up to the scheme.
The NHS is realising that sustainability is part of the core business of the health service rather than a green add-on. It is one of the biggest resource users and carbon generators in the UK and there are many efforts underway both nationally and locally to reduce the carbon footprint.
