Did you sign up to the 10:10 campaign last year? If not, why not make a New Year’s resolution to reduce your carbon emissions by 10% by the end of the year? And sign up your church, business, school too!
If you did sign up last year, why not consider how you could reduce your carbon emissions by a further 10% this year?
In just nine months, 10:10 has gone from a UK campaign to a growing movement of people and organisations in more than 45 countries. It has encouraged the likes of the city of Paris, the London Underground, Benfica football club and Mexico city to make carbon-cutting commitments, and made 10% the ambition when cutting carbon.
Cutting carbon becomes even more crucial with every passing year. Why not encourage as many people as possible to make 10:10 their New Year’s resolution?
Any organisation can benefit from joining 10:10. It’s a simple truth that cutting carbon does, in most cases, save money. London Underground, for example, saved tens of thousands of pounds in 2010 thanks to its 10:10 efforts.
10:10 plans on building on the biggest achievements of 2010 to keep creating tools and resources to help your carbon-cutting efforts. They’re also planning another ‘Day of Doing’ on 10:10:11 (10th October, 2011) to follow on from the Global Work Party that took place on 10:10:10.
If you’ve managed a 10% cut in 2010, it’s time to start thinking about how you could cut a further 10% next year. 10:10 is looking for pioneers – be they people, organisations or even cities – ready to commit to some bold new targets: perhaps a 20% cut in one year, or maybe a 10% cut every year for five years.
