The 1010 Campaign is an ambitious project to unite every sector of British society behind one simple idea: that by working together we can achieve a 10% cut in the UK’s carbon emissions in 2010. On their easy to use website they have case studies and advice for organisations that want to try and acheive this goal. www.1010uk.org

Since the Cambridge Climate Change Charter will involve a significant number of businesses, it is important that the CCCC effort be coordinated with that of the CBI and BITC. BITC already have a complete climate change web resource for businesses, and CBI are launching theirs soon (and already have some material on their site). I strongly recommend that business members of CCCC consult these websites, and these programmes, before settling on an approach to their CCCC activities.

Free solar PV for schools
British Gas has unveiled an unprecedented £15 million investment in solar technology for the nation's schools. The company will donate and install solar panels - worth up to £40,000 - in up to 750 schools in the UK. Each school will be able to generate its own free, green electricity, cutting as much as 20% of its annual electricity bill.
The schools receiving solar panels will also receive a British Gas smart meter, offering real time information so pupils can see the difference their solar panels are making. Finally, specially created Generation Green lesson plans will help teachers engage their pupils in learning about renewable energy, and schools will be able to track their performance against others and share tips and advice via a specially designed website.
For further information please visit www.generationgreen.co.uk/solarpanels/
