Scotland has become the first country to stop its hospitals using the anaesthetic desflurane because of the threat it poses to the environment!🏴
Banning it in Scotland would cut emissions equal to powering 1,700 homes a year!👏

Each of us has a role to play in protecting our ecosystems, which all of humanity depends on for survival.
Yet, nature is in crisis.
