10:10 New Zealand is a simple, strong idea: we commit to reduce our carbon emissions by 10% in the next 12 months.  We can start at home, at work and in travel choices.

The 10% is tangible, easily achievable and can be measured (links in blog below to three free carbon calculators)  Sign up now - click box at the right - tell your mates, then measure your emissions from the last 12 months and set a target for reductions.
 
10% is a practical first year action towards bolder targets in the following years, as we get more skills and technology. It will give the chance of a safer future for next generations.

We need to get carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere brought back close to 350 parts per million of CO2 equivalent, to limit warming effects on seas, polar ice and resulting weather instability. (For why 350 is so significant see www.350.org.nz  We have overshot it today.)

For most people, a 10% reduction is a fairly easy first step.  Achieve it by actions like insulating above your ceilings and below wooden floors, car sharing to & from work on a few days a week or cycling instead of driving alone, flying abroad less often, switching off equipment overnight and changing the most-often used light bulbs. Information that's available here will help you, but 10% is really not a major lifestyle change, just an improvement for you and the Planet!

Signing up to 10:10 makes our individual efforts meaningful, by ensuring that lots of people and organisations in NZ and globally, can unite behind a single simple pledge. Globally over 90,000 people are involved in 1010.
