Churches set sights on 90% carbon reduction

The Church of England Diocese of London has announced ambitious plans to reduce its carbon emissions by 90%.

The report, published yesterday, proposes a “model church” employing a range of low carbon measures that are most appropriate to churches. These include the use of smart meters, new technologies like biomass and solar panels. The report has been compiled by engineering consultancy Arup with the support of the Diocese of London and the Carbon Trust.

This is rather similar to the Eco-Diocese idea which has been discussed at various times here in Scotland.
