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.

What next after Copenhagen?
* The recent snow doesn't change the fact that the climate's heating dramatically, and that we need to act now to cut CO2 emissions.
* Following the disappointing outcome of the Copenhagen Summit it's more important than ever that individual nations do all they can to address climate change and reduce CO2 emissions.

* You can help make the Isle of Man's actions count by writing to MHKs and MLCs
