10:10 campaign to `send clear climate change message`
A new campaign from the energy and climate change secretary Ed Miliband intends to cut household emissions and move towards the government`s 10 per cent reduction goal by 2010.According to the department, around 90,000 homes in some of the poorest areas of the UK are to join its London headquarters and the 1.2 million homes last year which received some form of insulation to fight climate change.Mr Miliband said this programme included a #163;350 million sum to be spent by energy companies over the next three years to deliver whole house and street makeovers to reduce the carbon footprint of the most disadvantaged households and help these residences to save up to #163;300 per year.`By signing up to the 10:10 campaign, I hope people will be sending a broader message to governments round the world,` he added.The 10:10 campaign was launched at London`s Tate Modern on September 1st and featured public commitments to meet the campaign goal from dozens of public and private organisations.
