			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Two weeks ago I watched “The Age of Stupid”. The film and the discussion that followed inspired me to sign up to 10:10. It feels to me like a strong campaign that  helps people to understand what can be done to reduce carbon emissions, provides lots of support in taking the first steps, and encourages ideas and ongoing progress. I think it will make a real difference.</p>
<p>This is what they say:</p>
<p><em>“This year, thousands of individuals and organisations from across the country </em><em>are putting aside their differences to help write the first chapter of 21</em><em>st </em><em>Century’s biggest story.</em></p>
<p><em>The idea is simple: we work together to achieve a 10% cut in the UK’s carbon </em><em>emissions in 2010. From village post offices to City skyscrapers, everyone’s </em><em>invited.</em></p>
<p><em>Cutting 10% in one year is a bold target, but for most of us it’s an achievable </em><em>one, and is in line with what scientists say we need right now. And by signing up to a 10% target we’re not just supporting </em><em>10:10 </em><em>- we’re making it happen.</em></p>
<p><em>The success of </em><em>10:10 </em><em>depends on getting everyone involved, and the </em><em><a href="http://www.1010uk.org/" target="_blank">10:10 </a></em><em><a href="http://www.1010uk.org/" target="_blank">website</a> has all the tools you need to pass the message on far and wide. We </em><em>need to start spreading the word to every corner of the country, inviting our </em><em>friends, family, colleagues, customers, competitors – everyone we know – to </em><em>take part.</em></p>
<p><em>It’s easy to feel powerless in the face of a huge problem like climate change, but by uniting large numbers of people and institutions around immediate, effective and achievable action, </em><em>10:10 </em><em>enables all of us to make a meaningful difference. It’s the perfect opportunity to find out what’s possible when we work together.</em></p>
<p><em>10:10 </em><em>is about putting aside our differences to tackle the defining challenge of </em><em>our age. </em><em>10:10 </em><em>is about working together and raising our game. </em><em>10:10 </em><em>is an idea whose time has come. Let’s get started.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>At Greenmetrics our <a href="http://www.greenmetrics.co.uk/about/greenmetrics-environmental-policy" target="_blank">environmental policy </a> is already designed to reduce impacts, and we plan to use the 10:10 campaign not only to strengthen our own resolve, but to work with others to raise awareness and understanding of what&#8217;s possible when you really put your mind to it. We&#8217;ll keep you posted.</p>
