On the waterfront there's a desire to go green

WATERFRONT Edinburgh has joined a Prince of Wales campaign and committed to reducing its carbon emissions.

The organisation in charge of redeveloping hundreds of acres of Edinburgh's waterfront is looking at ways of reducing waste, being more energy efficient and keeping a careful eye on its carbon footprint. It follows a summit at Our Dynamic Earth yesterday, marking the anniversary of the May Day Network, which was launched last year in a bid to commit business to going green.

Colin Hunter, chief executive of Waterfront Edinburgh said: "Reducing our impact on the environment is a critical issue for Waterfront Edinburgh.We welcome a movement like the May Day Network as it shows business taking a lead in moving Scotland toward a low carbon economy."

Waterfront Edinburgh is one of three companies leading the regeneration of the North Edinburgh shore front and owns 120 acres of land in Granton.
