Proud of this work. Practical steps any endoscopy unit can implement to mitigate our huge environmental impact. The time is now for all of us to be all in on green endoscopy. @ASGEendoscopy @drdelatour https://t.co/ksmbMBAxQ1

Thanks @JasonDominitz. I’m worried this study is going to lead to a lot of downstream harm due to people and entities not understanding how to interpret the results.

Surprised by landmark @NEJM study results as #colonoscopy only reduced #coloncancer incidence by 18% with no significant mortality reduction at 10 yrs. But only 42% had procedure. For those who had colonoscopy, mortality reduced by 50%! #GITwitter https://t.co/FI1QclO7SE

This does not get discussed enough, but the environmental impact of endoscopy is the elephant in the room. We need to find solutions, and quickly.
