Scuola svizzera riduce emissioni di CO2 del 7% in pochi mesi



Swiss schools win "Kyoto bet"

         13,000 school children won a bet that they can reduce their CO2 
emissions
         by 7% in just 7 months -- they actually achieved a 8.3% 
reduction. The
         participating 25 schools achieved reductions from 0.5% to 
19.4%, by
         simple measures in room and water heating, insulations, 
ventilation,
         lights, appliances, traffic, and recycling.

         For a description of their energy-saving measures, see

         Switzerland was among the first countries to sign the Kyoto 
protocol.
         It introduced a "CO2 law" (in force since 01-May-2000) that 
schedules a
         10% reduction of CO2 emissions until 2010 (compared to the 1990 
level).
