    • Alarmingly, as much as 50% of all plastic products produced (380 million tonnes annually) are only used once, and only 9% of plastics are recycled globally. Join the ANHE Practice Forum for this timely webinar, “Reducing Plastic Use in the Health Sector and Beyond." This webinar focuses on how nurses can engage at the health systems, community, and advocacy levels to help reduce plastic pollution in the health sector and beyond. We also discuss the opportunities available for nurses from various practice settings to support initiatives and activities aimed at reducing plastic pollution.

      Learning Objectives:

      1. Describe existing efforts to reduce plastic pollution in the health sector and at a policy level.
      2. Discuss the opportunities available for nurses from various practice settings to support initiatives and activities aimed at reducing plastic pollution.
      3. Identify two actions to take in health systems, community, and/or at advocacy level to reduce plastic pollution.
