The carbon footprint of Scottish households has fallen by an average of 25% since 2009, according to WWF Scotland.
The Scottish Climate Change Act was passed in 2009, encouraging less harmful ways of powering and heating homes. Since then carbon emissions per person have fallen from 2.46 to 1.84 tonnes, UK government figures revealed. The rate of decrease differed between local authority areas, with Highland recording the largest drop at 30.3% and West Lothian the smallest at 21.6%.
Of course, it should not be forgotten that it is the scale of industry that inflicts the most damage, not the contribution of individuals but every little helps, as they say
