Through your letters page, I would like to welcome the initiative by Luke Rake, Principal of Kingston Maurward College in aiming to become carbon neutral in the current decade.

Residents in Dorchester should welcome this move by our respected agricultural college. By advertising the initiative, Kingston Maurward encourages other educational establishments to follow suit - and not only places of learning: all society must face up to the need for eventual elimination of greenhouse gases, to help to improve the climate. Individuals may feel that there is little they can do, but ‘every little helps’, as the TV commercial reminds us.
