Shared Earth has signed up to a new campaign that aims to tackle global warming in a way that everyone can help.

Its aim, instead of relying on politicians, is to start doing it ourselves – each one of us – by reducing our carbon emissions by 10% in the year 2010.

We all know what a future with climate change may bring. Carbon is the problem, and starting to reduce it is something we all can do. This is a grass roots campaign which we can all support – individuals and organisations alike. Businesses, schools, councils, ourselves in our personal lives – we can all make a difference, and reducing our emissions by just 10% should not be difficult!

As founder of Shared Earth I have always been passionate about the environment, as you will see in my recent book Coffins, Cats and Fair Trade Sex Toys. Our carbon emissions at Shared Earth are already low, but there are still simple things we can do. For instance, I shall be looking at whether all the lights we turn on are really necessary.

The 10:10 Campaign launched on September 1st in the UK, and within 3 days had signed up 10,000 people, 400 businesses, and the leaders of all three major political parties.

I invite you to join us and help create a brighter, healthier future. It’s easy to sign up, and there’s no fee. Just go to www.1010uk.org, fill in your name and click the button!
