10:10 highlights Nottingham NHS Trust

10:10 launched today, a campaign with the devilishly simple aim of getting people, organisations, education and business to reduce their carbon emissions by 10% by the end of 2010. Of course, there have been plenty of climate change campaigns over recent years, but 10:10 definitely wins on the simplicity of its aims (and a nice website). Would love to hear your thoughts on this campaign, and if its something manageable enough for you or your organisation to sign up to…

Pleased to see the region getting a prominent place in the case studies section, in the shape of Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust. Interested to see some really pro-active steps being taken beyond the well documented (but very welcome) public transport scheme in the city. Particularly eyecatching are the scheme recycling clinical waste into building hoardings and a stringent procurement initiative including food, pharmaceuticals and equipment. You can read the full case study here.
