For instance, the idea of green (or more environmentally friendly) dentistry/medicine always bounces around in my head, but I have no idea of what to do with the idea or even how to approach it. What I mean by this is that I always notice how wasteful medicine can be (think of all those needles that get thrown out each time someone gets a shot... now I know that they're thrown out for contamination purposes, but all that material adds up and builds in a landfill somewhere...) and it bothers me. Especially as a first year student, I noticed that dentistry uses a lot of non-recyclable items and I keep wondering if they're actually recyclable and we're just not recycling them or is there a way to reformat them for a different use....
It just bothers me. =( If you have any ideas or even resources to give me to learn more about this topic, I'll like to take a browse through them (...when I find time...). This has been bugging me for a while now.
On another, totally unrelated topic, I seem to find myself daydreaming about food a lot in class. Whyyyyy? It makes me so hungry =(. Yeah.... sorry for the sidetrack. I'll go back to studying now. ><
