'Whilst Decisions On Ways To Combat Such Things As A Global Warming Today are Taken By Politicians On The National And International Stage, I believe It Is Vital That Our Younger People Are Able To Take A Clear View On These Issues. I Also believe That Passage Of time As They Develop As Adults, But With Some Immediate Effect.
South Lanarkshire Council Is Committed To Making A Contribution To Addressing The Issue Of Global Warming. The Council Is A Member Of The Carbon Trust And Recently Agreed The Scottish Climate Change Declaration. This Is A New Agenda For Us Although Several Aspects Are Already In Place: Our Recycling Efforts Show A Substantial Improvement And Our Procurement Policy Is Focused On Energy, Efficiency, And Sustainable Goods. Our Efforts With Our Public Sector Partners Will Show Increased Focus On Sustainability, And This Is Gradually Pervading All Of Our Activities.
On Behalf Of The Council, I Wish You Every Success In Your Efforts To Raise Awareness And Achieve A Consensus From Your Students'

All well and good, Mr Strang, but what about the great playing-field sell-off then?
The Cathkin Rugby pitches have been sacrificed on the alter of quick profit by the council, or can you tell us otherwise? South Lanarkshire has lots of open countryside but its the green spaces in the towns that really matter. The trees and plants help to maintain the balance of gasses in the environment and the towns produce lots of carbon dioxide which needs to be dealt with.
The contribution of south Lanarkshire council vans belching out exhaust fumes around the school whilst their drivers sit inside munching their chips and reading the Daily record hardly helps the problem of greenhouse gasses does it ?
