How climate-friendly is the capital? 10:10 in London
By Chris BournPosted: Tue Nov 24 2009Whole cities have been signing up to 10:10, the nationwide campaign to cut carbon emissions during 2010. Bristol and Manchester have thrown their weight behind it - so how is London doing by comparison? See below for regular updates on the capital's progress towards a shrinking carbon footprint.
London, as the one-time hub of the empire responsible for the first industrialised economy, arguably owes a greater carbon debt than any other city in the world. Which is part of the reason Time Out has joined 10:10, the innovative campaign to cut the UK's carbon emissions by at least 10 per cent during 2010 - and why we're encouraging the rest of the capital to do the same.
Here we'll be reporting on which local authorities (see map above) and other leading London organisations have also signed up to 10:10. We'll also be updating you on our progress as we honour our own commitment to reducing Time Out's carbon footprint over the coming year.
To join 10:10 yourself, or to sign up your company or organisation, visit the campaign's website here.
And you can read an interview with Franny Armstrong, 10:10's inspirational founder and director of 'The Age of Stupid', here.
