In Botswana, we have recently experienced extreme flooding, excess heat and drought affecting our homes, livestock and our health. At Independence Surgery, Gaborone we have made adaptions to help our planet and our health such as installing solar panels, switching to LED lights, energy efficient inverter air conditioning and recycling our paper and cardboard waste.
We have linked with Green Botswana Trust and Botswana Association of Family Physicians to plant vegetable gardens, fruit and indigenous shade trees in schools and clinics.
