Australia’s Australian Capital Territory (ACT) government said today that they will be enacting tough carbon cutting laws.
They said that their climate change and greenhouse gas reduction bill would be setting a target of cutting down carbon emissions by 40% by 2020 from their 1990 levels, and that the cut would rise to 80% by 2050!
That would be amazing!
The aim is that nearly 400 000 people would become carbon neutral by 2060. If it’s possible in Australia then it should be possible all over the world! IT seems there are calls within Australian government to step up to the responsibility required to alleviating the issue of carbon emissions.

Hope Australia can do it! And even more so, I hope the rest of the world who is not being environmentally responsible takes note!
