10:10 is a new all party campaign supported by the Liberal Democrats and launched this month to reduce the UK's domestic greenhouse gas emissions by 10% during 2010. By signing up, any individual, school, business or organisation pledges to do their best to reduce their emissions by 10 per cent during the year 2010.
