Go greener says Government Print E-mail
Wednesday, 09 January 2008

The Scottish Government is calling on Scots to do their bit to stop the degradation of the planet’s environment by signing up to one or more of the Government’s 10 Greener Pledges. 

The pledges include recycling more, and using a variety of means to reduce power use around the home. The full list of pledges can be found at www.infoscotland.com/future

Environment Minister Michael Russell said that individuals had a major role to play in combating climate change:

“Climate change is a challenge for all of us.  It is already affecting the world around us - with Scotland already seeing the affects through increasing temperatures and dramatic increases in rainfall in the winter. Every time we throw away rubbish, get in the car or turn on the lights we are leaving our mark on our planet.

“The visible affects of climate change and a growing awareness of the consequences of our actions have already made many of us stop and think about what we can do to reduce our impact on the environment.  Many of us are already taking action - recycling more, driving less and using energy-efficient light bulbs. But we can - and must - do more. Our 10 Greener Pledges offer everyone the chance to go greener in 2008 and make a real difference.  Most of them are simple but very effective ways of becoming more environmentally-friendly. Together, even by making some small changes, we can contribute to a greener Scotland in 2008.”
