The East Midlands - the UK’s first sustainable energy region?
 
All of us take energy for granted. But most of this energy comes from burning fossil fuels – and they release greenhouse gases. These gases are altering our atmosphere, causing changes in our climate that will have an impact for many years to come.

The East Midlands is taking a lead in moving towards a low carbon future that benefits our economy, protects our environment and supports our communities.
