My Green Doctor’s short and updated patient-education resource, “Helping Children to Save Energy,” gives healthcare practices a simple tool to share with patients and families. It offers practical ways children can participate in conserving energy and learn that everyday choices can make a difference.
Simple acts add up: turning off lights and electronics that are not being used, making thoughtful choices about heating and cooling, and encouraging other family members to participate. These make an abstract idea—saving energy—visible and understandable. These actions can also help families reduce household energy use and expenses while teaching lessons that extend well beyond the utility bill.
As Dr. Todd Sack writes, “It’s easy and smart to help your children to save energy.” Share “Helping Children to Save Energy” with your office colleagues and with the families your practice serves.
