To do this, it restated much existing policy, with a less-than-liberal sprinkling of new commitments. Environment Secretary Chris Patten said it covered "the street corner to the stratosphere". Critics called it a damp squib. more > Buzz Guide 560 Computers/Space 568 SELLING YOUR HOME? SPECIAL OFFER 2WKS FOR THE PRICE OF 1! see 685 (C4) Computers Buzz Line Beat Box Kids

The Government will call for tougher EC laws on air pollution, ask people to be more energy efficient and peg CO2 emissions at current levels by 2005 (the rest of Europe wants it by 2000). The MOT test will change to encourage efficient engines. Drivers will be advised on fuel economy, while fuel and road tax may be changed to encourage efficiency. more follows > Buzz Guide 560 Computers/Space 568 Computers Buzz Line Beat Box Kids

The shame is that much of what is printed is also recycled. It trumpets the belated as pioneering, the weak as tough and other people's ideas as its own. Mr Patten hasn't had the cabinet clout, the Prime Ministerial support or the time off from defending the poll tax to draft the paper the planet needs. Mrs Thatcher is not green. But she thinks we are if we're going to believe this is good enough. more follows > Buzz Guide 560 Computers/Space 568 Computers Buzz Line Beat Box Kids

They spent a day monitoring the air outside the Birmingham Motor Show to prove it. FoE are worried about benzene, which is emitted by car exhausts, and from fuel tanks, especially during refuelling. Benzene is, they say, a proven carcinogen (linked to leukaemia) and one of the chemicals which makes up the urban "ozone smog" in summer. more follows > Buzz Guide 560 Computers/Space 568 Computers Buzz Line Beat Box Kids

As 80% of airborne benzene comes from vehicles, FoE want the Government to encourage the take-up of catalytic converters - which can reduce benzene emission by 90%. They also want better car inspection, EC controls on fuel systems to cut benzene emission and a UK programme to fit petrol pump controls in areas of high technology. more follows > Buzz Guide 560 Computers/Space 568 Computers Buzz Line Beat Box Kids
