Sweden’s green role model city - by David Wiles
The Swedish city of Växjö has reduced its emissions of carbon dioxide per inhabitant by nearly a quarter, and is aiming to go lower still. Now it has won a Sustainable Energy Europe Award for its environmental efforts.
Biogas is produced at the municipal sewage works, the university is heated by pellets and the city’s swimming pool has solar panels on its roof. Cycle paths have been extended at the expense of roads, and residents and companies can receive subsidies to buy environmentally friendly cars, and can then park for free.
