Having just watched a really engaging debate on newsnight tonight regarding climate change. I have felt impelled to go and sign our company up for the 10:10 campaign. For anyone who hasn’t heard of the campaign, to quote the website itself;
“What is 10:10?
10:10 is an ambitious project to unite every sector of British society behind one simple idea: that by working together we can achieve a 10% cut in the UK’s carbon emissions in 2010.”
Having listened to the debate on the TV and subsequently read the detail on the 10:10 website, it doesn’t seem that hard to do, and without going in to all the detail (you can read that on their site), it would appear that we could only have around 6 years to actually start to have an effect before we hit the dreaded 2° increase in global temperature . Politicians are dithering and we can all show them (and the rest of the world) that a little from everyone can count alot.
As you’ll probably tell, it’s something we’re very passionate about, but we’re not the only ones, there are already some major companies, public figures, celebrities, and many others already on board. I think the main reason for this is that it really is an acheivable target to hit.
If you want to read more then you can get to the 10:10 website here and also hopefully you’ll sign up too.
Any comments, as always, are welcome. but I urge you all to go and sign up and do your bit along with the rest of us.
This post makes a lot of sense !
