NO FILTER , Just getting it out there
Earlier this year with a great deal of fanfare and celebration FODDC Green Cabinet members delighted in placing £1.9m of your money to purchase electric refuse vehicles.
They would, they told us from their pulpit, reduce emissions and the council's Carbon score by huge amounts.
However, a few months in, a simple question about the vehicle's carbon footprint received this answer.
" the actual carbon footprint of the new vehicles is not possible to determine as the manufacturers are not willing or not able to supply that information"
So we have no idea what the carbon footprint of the vehicles that are supposedly reducing our carbon footprint is before FODDC got them ?
which poses the question.
How can you possibly measure the end carbon emissions if you don't know the carbon emissions it took you to get there ?
We are sure Cllrs Moore and Macfarling will have a suitably complicated answer
