Tasmania to cut greenhouse gases by 60 per cent
The Tasmanian Government will introduce legislation to reduce the state’s greenhouse gas emissions by 60 percent by the year 2050.
Premier Paul Lennon says the target will be based in 1990 levels.
He says the government’s car fleet will be carbon neutral by mid 2010 and State Cabinet will consider making it mandatory for major government buildings to have solar power and hot water installed.
Mr Lennon has also announced an agreement with Greening Australia to offset the government’s air travel.
