How might the Isle of Man be carbon neutral?

That question will be the subject of discussion at a talk in the North of the Island next week which has been organised by University College Isle of Man.

Dr Dave Quirk of the Manx Geological Survey will explore the potential costs and options facing the Isle of Man in hitting its target of achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050.

It'll take place at the Mountain View Innovation Centre on Jurby Road in Ramsey on Wednesday, January 15 at 6.45pm - anyone wanting to can find more details at www.ucmtalkscarbon.eventbrite.com .
