Atlanta surgeon: Medical waste guidelines need alternative measures; Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport prepares for more holiday travel
New data suggests the American healthcare sector is a significant contributor to climate crisis. Studies show the U.S. healthcare sector is responsible for nearly 9% of the country’s greenhouse gas emissions. Also, each day, a single patient can produce 30 pounds of medical waste, such as disposable instruments and one-time use plastics. Dr. Shaneeta Johnson, a surgical professor at Morehouse School of Medicine, discusses its impact on the environment and the steps healthcare providers can take to reduce or eliminate medical waste.
Plus, the holiday season is one of the busiest times of the year for travel. Jordan Biegler, the deputy general manager of operations at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, discusses projections for end-of-year travel, best tips for navigating airport foot traffic, and gives a post-Thanksgiving travel recap.
