2. TARGET your G.I.G
Why focus on G.I.G? These three areas are major contributors to your practice's carbon pawprint, and the data is easy to collect from your electricity bills, gas bills, and isoflurane purchases.
G.I.G is the easiest way to reduce your practice's carbon waste, save money and support the future of animal health.
