Earth Day 2025 is coming up on Tuesday, April 22, and this year’s global theme—“Our Power, Our Planet”—reminds us that every healthcare professional has the power to lead meaningful environmental change.
And closer to home, we are proud to announce that this Earth Day marks the 15th Anniversary for My Green Doctor!
As clinic administrators, office managers, and healthcare providers, you already champion patient well-being—now is the time to extend that leadership to environmental health. By celebrating Earth Day, you can educate patients, engage staff, and take real steps toward reducing your clinic’s environmental impact.
Need ideas? My Green Doctor is here to help.
Why Should Clinics Participate in Earth Day?
Climate change is a healthcare issue. The medical community plays a crucial role in environmental health—air pollution, extreme weather, and food insecurity all impact public health.
Patients trust healthcare professionals. Studies show that when doctors and clinic staff discuss environmental health, patients are more likely to take action.
Sustainable practices reduce costs. Simple energy efficiency upgrades, telehealth expansion, and waste reduction can lower overhead while reducing your clinic’s carbon footprint.
This Earth Day, let’s make an impact together.
How Your Clinic Can Take Action for Earth Day
1. Launch a Patient Education Campaign
Help patients understand the link between climate change and health by displaying educational materials in your waiting room.

✨ Tip: Hold a brief 5-minute “Earth Day Chat” with patients in the waiting area about how small changes—like using reusable water bottles or eating more plant-based meals—can improve health and the environment.
2. Organize a Community Clean-Up or Tree Planting Event
Partner with local organizations to clean up a park, street, or waterway. Engaging your community builds relationships while improving local environmental health.
How My Green Doctor Can Help: We provide guidance on organizing clinic-led environmental initiatives.
