Whether you want to help the environment or just get you bills down to size, cutting our carbon footprint makes good sense. Even so it can be hard to know where to start, and to know how one person can make a difference.

What’s needed is something straightforward, immediate and meaningful – we think we’ve found it.

Newport Parish Council has joined thousands of people and organisation across the country in adopting a simple goal: cutting carbon by 10% in one year, starting in 2010. It’s called 10:10 and we’re hoping we can get you involved.

Cutting 10% in one year is a bold target, but for most of us it’s an achievable one, and is in line with what scientist say we need right now.

Join us in St Thomas' Square, Newport at 10.10am on Saturday 9th October 10 to launch Newport Parish Council’s 10:10 campaign.

You can sign up on the day and also receive stickers and tips to help make a difference.
