Website: Healthcare EnviroNet

Canadian nonprofit Healthcare EnviroNet offers environmental information, products, and services to health-care professionals interested in greening their industry. The site, accessible from C2P2's "Affiliated Web Sites" page, allows users to:

• Stay current on regulatory updates and Canadian government initiatives.
  
• Explore green alternatives for health-care facilities.
  
• Learn from others' experiences through links to listservs and online discussion groups.

The site includes management tools and best practices for environmental goals such as minimizing waste, implementing an environmental management system, and preparing for environmental audits -- each illustrated by case studies from Canadian health-care providers.

For an introduction to the environmental issues facing the industry, try the "Areas of Concern" section, which contains helpful primers on waste management, incineration, wastewater, energy efficiency, water conservation, and sustainable building design.

Healthcare EnviroNet also hosts conferences and round-table discussions throughout the year. Visit the site for upcoming events.
