Simon Young: Campaigns


			10:10 Campaign I’m delighted to support the 10:10 campaign. The 10:10 is an exciting climate change campaign that aims to get individuals, companies and institutions to reduce their carbon footprints by 10% during 2010. I will be replacing all possible light bulbs with energy efficient alternatives, turning appliances off standby, recycling and using public transport more. Cutting your carbon footprint by 10% doesn’t mean big changes to your lifestyle. In fact I’d say cutting the first 10% is the easy and will also save you money! You can join the campaign by visiting www.1010global.org


			Million Voices I’m supporting Unison’s ‘Million Voices’ campaign against the deep cuts being proposed by the ConDem government. “We must fight against these savage cuts to public services. Now is not the time to cut the vital services that our local communities rely upon; to help people back into work, care for our elderly, and give our children the best start in life. These cuts will only increase unemployment and threaten our fragile economic recovery”. People all over the country are adding their support towards this campaign. They are speaking out to protect the education of their children, the dignity of elderly, neighbours, the potential of disabled relatives, the cleanliness or safety of local communities, the health of patients - and many other reasons. We all have so much to lose - so add your voice today by visiting www.million-voices.org
