New partnership using international schemes for 2022
Carbon produced from the TT could be 'locally offset' in future, government says.
This year the Department for Enterprise will attempt to reduce the event's footprint by using international schemes to offset emissions created by the racing and international travel.
It claims its new partnership with the Pozitive Group will result in the first carbon neutral TT.
Former Enterprise Minister Alex Allinson – who now heads up Treasury – says the intention is to, ultimately, reap the benefit close to home:
Jail for man who tried to gouge a police officer's eyes out
Rushen MHK calls for progress on 20mph zones in south
Man caught with indecent images of children spared jail
Dan Kneen Charitable Fund calls off popular 24hr cycling event
