Cuba Reduces Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Cuba has reduced its greenhouse gas emissions by almost 3.5 million tons since the implementation of the Energy
Revolution program, an idea of Cuban leader Fidel Castro.

In statements to ACN news agency, Nelson Espinosa, director of the Ozone Technical Office, pointed out that part of the reduction is the direct consequence of burning less fossil oils to produce energy, a goal achieved due to the replacement of almost 15 million incandescent bulbs for energy-saving lamps, and of old electrical appliances for more efficient ones.
