"I am passionate about sustainability in anesthesia and efforts to green the operating room as part of my commitment to environmental justice and equity. I am the principal investigator for Project SPRUCE Forest, a pediatric anesthesia quality improvement consortium. This work began at Seattle Children's hospital and resulted in an 87% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from inhaled anesthetics, which were responsible for 5-7% of total hospital emissions. "
