"Minister for Housing David Borger outlined new environmental targets for Housing NSW and social housing tenants. Mr Borger, who pledged that Housing NSW would become carbon neutral by 2020, said Housing NSW’s commitment to environmental sustainability was the first of its kind for any social housing provider in Australia. “We all know that global warming is real and everyone has a role to play in reducing our greenhouse gas emissions - social housing tenants are no exception,” Mr Borger said. “We are working to reduce the environmental footprint of Housing NSW and the 340,000 people living in social housing with $6.2 million dedicated to improvements in the first year."
