10:10 - The time for action

London, Januari 01 2010 - After the despair of the great Copenhagen cop-out, here's a bit of good news: while the politicians bicker and backbite, thousands of people, organisations and companies have been quietly taking the battle against climate change into their own hands.
At the campaign's launch, TV presenter and low-carbon proselytiser Kevin McCloud told the crowd gathered outside London's Tate Modern: "If you all go out and get 10 people to sign up to 10:10 and get them to sign up another 10 people on Friday, then by next Tuesday the whole planet will have signed up and we will have won." Well it didn't go exactly to Kevin's plan, but the campaign's progress has been extraordinary nonetheless.
