What we are doing at Northern Territory

Nationwide News Northern Territory publishes the daily Northern Territory News and The Sunday Territorian, along with the Darwin Sun and Palmerston Sun free weekly newspapers. The newspapers and their associated printing facilities had a carbon footprint of 1,548 tonnes in the year to June 2006.

Temperature control is a major energy use in the Northern Territory. Awnings have been installed over windows and a rapid roll door to keep cooled air in the high traffic press room. Reflective coating for the roof, window tinting, ceiling fans, air conditioning curtains, increased insulation and new chiller units are also being investigated as new initiatives to reduce energy consumption.

The use of hybrid, diesel and gas fuelled cars and forklifts is also being explored.
