Dentist Chris is taking part in the #EnviroMayCHALLENGE and going green for May. He's giving up plastic, fossil fuels and reducing his carbon footprint for the whole month.
The practice is already doing our bit for #EnviroMay by encouraging patient's to switch to #recyclable, #biodegradable toothbrushes and interdental brushes. We've also swapped some of our dental equipment and instruments for more #sustainable alternatives, where possible.
If you'd like to take part in the... #EnviroMayChallenge, share a post declaring what you're giving up for the month and nominate others to get involved!
