Become a 10:10 Synagogue

Cutting 10% of our emissions in 2010: 10:10 is a mass movement that is signing up people and organisations from every corner of British life. From councils and hospitals to faith groups and scout troops, organisations across the country are deciding to get on board at the start of the journey to a low-carbon society.

So if you want to establish your organisation as a leader in tackling the most important and pressing issue of our times; stay one step ahead of oncoming legislation to limit emissions; save money on your energy bills; and respond to the moral challenge of climate change; then 10:10 is for you.

Becoming a 10:10 organisation means making a commitment to pull out all the stops and try to reduce your carbon footprint by 10% in just one year. For most organisations 10% is ambitious but achievable. It’s the low hanging fruit: eliminating waste, increasing efficiency, that sort of thing.
