Closed petition Require all newly built homes to be Carbon Neutral by 2030

Closed on 16 October 2021

The Government should require all new build homes to be Carbon Neutral, using eco materials, solar panels, and planting trees etc. All materials/resources should have their carbon impact measure and then offset by appropriate means.

Land is being purchased and built on at an alarming rate. Animals are losing their habitats and very little is being done to combat the carbon which will be absorbed by these trees/ fields which are being dug up. Builders should be made responsible for combating the additional carbon which will be released into the environment. The increase in new houses is also linked to the increase in quarries and mining which also increases carbon emission.
