Greening the Ward investigates the hidden systemic barriers preventing Canadian hospitals from adopting sustainable clinical practices. While the healthcare sector contributes massively to national carbon emissions, efforts to implement reusable alternatives are actively blocked by intense medico-legal pressure. This project exposes how tort-based liability fears and corporate manufacturer restrictions force clinicians to practice “defensive medicine,” generating immense plastic and diagnostic waste. Ultimately, this research advocates for no-fault liability reform and the operational adoption of a circular economy, arguing that true patient safety must also prioritize planetary health.
