DRAFT RESOLUTION NO. 222 /X

Progressive reduction of CO2 emissions in the Assembly of the Republic

Climate change and its consequences are increasingly a priority theme

for Humanity in the Twenty-First Century. In the process of reform the Assembly of the Republic

could not fail to give a sign of concern and example in the direction of reduction

progressive of greenhouse gas emissions, specifically of dioxide from

carbon (CO2), coming from their energy consumption and activity, giving

so a clear signal to society and the world that a lot and there is to be done and that the

tasks that we must do urgem and fit us all and every one of us.

It is certain that the Assembly of the Republic has already included in its performance a high

environmental concern in the operation of its services, using

mostly recycled paper, separating the paper, the card, the packaging used and

computer consumables used by own containers, the batteries and bulbs used

delivering them for recycling; carrying out work and measurements of air quality and

many other activities that are at the forefront of protecting the environment. Between the

good practice suits further to highlight the launch of a public tender for the

project for the design of the climatization system of the São Bento Palace based

in solar thermal energy or the placement, in numerous locations, of low light bulbs

consumption and light sensors in some locations.
