Eco-friendly Homeowners Head For Spain. Wednesday, July 11, 2007
Environment officials in Spain have announced that in an effort to diminish the effect of the country’s greenhouse gas emissions, two regional governments and the capital city plan to plant millions of trees.
In 2006, Spain’s emissions were 48 per cent higher than in 1990. However, the government is determined to lower its emissions, and improve the future environment of its residents. The country is tackling energy consumption with increased use of solar and wind power, enforced by building regulations that make these measures a routine feature of property construction in Spain.
As part of the move to transform Spain into one of the greenest countries in Europe, the Castilla-La Mancha region has already increased its forested area to 5m hectares, according to Environment Councillor Jose Luis Martinez, and plans to plant 20 million trees in the next four years.
The Basque Country is funding the planting of 250,000 trees in Kenya between 2006 and 2009, and will plant 10,000 new trees in the Basque Country itself.
Madrid already has extensive areas of parks and gardens, and plans to create new green spaces. Ana Botella, head of the city hall’s environmental department, says that the city is also planting 1.5 million trees that will absorb 9,000 tonnes of greenhouse gases a year.
The result will be a more pleasant and healthier environment with far reaching ecological affects, making Spain the perfect place to invest in property, and your future.
