LW: There are some – I will tell you that there are some things that are regional and some that are state-focused. Waste disposal can differ from state to state. EPA has been very active in their various EPA regions across the country. At the federal level, there are executives order around decreasing waste and environmentally preferred procurement that directly impacts our VA hospitals as another example.
HCBN: Does Practice Greenhealth have any lobbying efforts at the Federal level?
LW: No. One, it’s too political — being a membership organization, you’re trying to be all-inclusive to membership. Two, some organizations have very specific codes of ethics —if any of our membership dollars go toward lobbying they cannot join. Our focus is on providing members with the tools, education and how to guide them to implement their sustainability programs.
