This tool will calculate: 1. The total carbon emissions saved from patient travel averted to and from your facility (in metric tonnes of CO2e) 2. The cost savings to patients from patient travel averted to and from your facility, including the cost of transit fare, gas, insurance, vehicle wear and tear, and parking (in Canadian dollars) 3. The total carbon and financial costs of in-person patient visits to and from your facility (in metric tonnes of CO2e) 4. The carbon and cost savings associated with virtual visits at various percentages of total visits (forecasting)

The following table provides a general list of groups that need to be involved for the successful planning, design or delivery of food infrastructure for planetary health projects; it is offered as a working draft or a guide for you and your teams to upgrade together.
This playbook provides background information, an overview of reusable opportunities in healthcare, as well as implementation resources and suggested strategies to adopt reusables at care sites.
This webinar explored how healthy food and food systems contributed to improvements in patient, public, and ecosystem health. It discussed aligning planning, design, and delivery of food infrastructures with planetary health values. The authors of the Food Infrastructures for Planetary Health playbook presented ways to integrate planetary health into decision-making, including opportunities across the facilities delivery lifecycle and approaches to driving system change. Speakers from across Canada shared efforts to transform health system food environments. The event was presented by CASCADES in partnership with Nourish and Green Care.
