The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds announces wind turbine plan to reduce its carbon footprint
Good Job!!
The RSPB is today unveiling plans to build a wind turbine at its UK headquarters in Sandy, Bedfordshire.
The RSPB believes that renewable energy is an essential tool in the fight against climate change, which poses the single biggest threat to the long term survival of birds and wildlife.
In addition to campaigning to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the RSPB is committed to reducing its own carbon footprint by generating its energy needs from renewable sources wherever possible.
The proposal will be a significant step for the wildlife charity, which is joining forces with green energy company, Ecotricity...
We know that with the right design and location wind turbines have little or no impact on wildlife. The RSPB has commented on over 1,500 wind farm applications. In the small number of cases around six per cent where we feel there is likely to be a significant impact on wildlife we have lodged an objection. In many of these cases the developers have listened and redesigned their plans to make sure they do not threaten wildlife...
Ecotricity is a British company which started 16 years ago as the worlds first green energy company and we dont pay dividends to shareholders, instead we use our profits to build new sources of green energy....
Good Job!!
