Environmental Action at Malachite Midwives
- Green Energy provided by Bullfrog Power: We have eliminated our business's electricity-related emissions footprint by using Bullfrog Power. This organization injects clean, renewable power onto the grid to match the amount of power that we use at the Malachite house. Please visit the website: http://www.bullfrogpower.com to gain more information about this unique sustainable energy company.
- We use primarily non-toxic cleaning products.
- We provide paperless information and handouts through our website, to reduce paper usage and waste during your care.
- The paper in our office all comes from a 100% recycled source.
- We reuse paper as frequently as we can to reduce medical paper waste.
- Our clients and their newborns use linens rather than paper drapes during their visits.
- Our front lawn has been converted into an organic vegetable garden.
- We compost all food waste, which provides nourishment for our vegetable garden.
- We strive to reduce medical waste by using many instruments that can be sterilized, rather than disposable equipment.
- We have a pregnancy/baby clothing exchange area, and encourage our clients to donate to and take from these gently used items.
