Strategies

Use aerobic, natural decomposition to divert food and yard waste from landfills and create a nutrient-rich soil amendment product on an individual or large scale

Involve consumers in health care governance via roles on governing boards, advisory committees, or shorter-term special projects

Increase patients’ health-related knowledge via efforts to simplify health education materials, improve patient-provider communication, and increase overall literacy

Provide physical infrastructure (e.g., bike parking or showers), educational or social support (e.g., walking groups), and financial incentives that support active commuting

Arrange active transportation with a fixed route, designated stops, and pick up times when children can walk to school with adult chaperones
