How do we "Go Green" at Moles Orthodontics?

At Milwaukee's Moles Orthodontics, we are always taking steps to be more environmentally friendly. We first started with energy efficient light bulbs throughout our offices. We took it another step further with water that is filtered. We no longer have our water delivered.

We also went from having all patient charts to scanning our documents from our charts into the patients computer file. This eliminated copies being made and possible cross- contamination as well. We are striving to a completely free paperless office. Were heading towards our goal with the amount of work were doing with papers and charts dwindling fast!

We have recycle bins in our offices in Milwaukee, Racine and Brookfield, and every one of our employees recycles daily. Even in the winter we try to keep the office thermostat a couple degree’s lower and a couple degrees higher in the summer months, to reduce the heating and cooling costs in the office. We do keep it comfortable for our patients though.

Everyone can do their share to start going green and protect the planet our future generations will be living in.
