In this thought-provoking episode, host Nicola Wilson—Head of Education for Sustainability and
Implementation Manager for the Born Green Project—sits down with Erik Ruiz, Lead for Sustainable
Pharmaceuticals at Healthcare Without Harm Europe.


Together, they explore the urgent need to minimise pharmaceutical pollution and protect
against antimicrobial resistance, challenging the idea that we have carte blanche to use
medications without considering their environmental impact. Medicines are essential—but so
is rethinking our lifestyles and systems to support sustainable healthcare.


Key topics include:
- Plastics reduction and the environmental cost of pharmaceuticals
- Wastewater and antimicrobial resistance: what’s really going down the drain
- The role of systemic change in transforming healthcare sustainability
- The prophylactic use of antibiotics in food production and its global implications
- Collaborating with industry for transparency in environmental data


This episode is a must-listen for healthcare professionals, sustainability advocates, and anyone
interested in the intersection of medicine, environment, and ethics.

Tune in now to learn how we can protect both human health and the planet.
