Armed Forces ‘must cut emissions to make the world a safer place’
The TelegraphThe Armed Forces must cut their emissions, the head of Nato has said, as he tried to woo the US on climate change. Meanwhile, Ben Wallace, the Defence Secretary, announced in December last year that algae, alcohol and household waste would power RAF fighter jets to cut carbon emissions. Another example of the military’s green revolution includes the British Army Training Support Unit Belize and the Defence Infrastructure Organisation having collaborated with the conservation charity Panthera in October last year, to monitor and protect endangered jungle wildlife, as part of a programme to ensure essential military training does not disturb local habitats. Jeremy Quin, the defence minister, said the Belize jungle training “demonstrates the diverse and far-reaching benefits of UK Armed forces operating around the world” and that the training could have “conservation benefits”.
