Businesses must reduce carbon emissions - MP

Des Turner, the Labour MP for Brighton Kemptown, has joined with almost 150 other Members of Parliament in calling for businesses and the public sector to do their bit in reducing carbon emissions.

Mr Turner said: 'The commercial and public services sector have the fastest growing energy use apart from aviation.

It's use of electricity, which has a particularly high carbon footprint, is expected to rise by nearly 45 per cent in the 30years to 2020.

'It is vital that the efforts of the public in tackling climate change by reducing their carbon emissions are matched by businesses and organisations in the public sector.'
