Queen going green
bout ****in time...............and she's only got 5 ****in palaces
http://uk.news.yahoo.com/afp/2007040...s-a7ad41d.html LONDON (AFP) - Queen Elizabeth II has hired a team of consultants to carry out the first-ever audit of carbon emissions from her three official residences, a spokesman for Buckingham Palace said Tuesday. "For the first time, we are doing an overall audit to take stock on our carbon emissions and our energy consumption in the queen's royal residences, not in the private estates," a spokeswoman said. "We will know where and how to reduce our emissions." The review includes Buckingham Palace in London, Windsor Castle -- where the queen spends weekends -- and the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh. Her other homes, including Balmoral in the Scottish Highlands and Sandringham in eastern England, are private residences. The spokeswoman said that the royal household had been "taking environmental measures" for over 10 years but there had never been an overall audit. The results of the audit will not be made public, she added. Green measures already taken by the palace include converting all vehicles of state used by the queen -- plus a London taxi driven by her husband Prince Philip -- to run on LPG (liquified petroleum gas). Prince Charles is known for his interest in green issues but has recently taken flak from the British press for the amount he travels by air. |
