'Immediate changes needed' to improve home emissions

People must make immediate changes to lifestyles in their homes to help reduce carbon emissions to zero by 2050.

That's according to Environment, Food & Agriculture Minister, Geoffrey Boot MHK, this week as the government launched three schemes aimed at tackling emissions levels in Island residential properties.

Mr Boot added residential homes are the largest contributor to carbon emissions on the Island and the figure continues to increase.

Further information on the initiatives is available on the government website.
