MHK calls for Government to publish carbon
footprint * Juan Watterson MHK is calling for
Government to publish its carbon footprint each year. He believes
annual reports will help ensure a greater awareness of carbon usage
within individual IoM Government Departments.
* Government is the largest energy user on the Island, contributing about 50,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year - around 10% of all Island emissions. Since 2005 Government's annual carbon footprint has been cut by 12% from 53,000 tonnes to 47,000 tonnes. * Mr Watterson's motion will be debated in Tynwald this January.
