Politicians, celebs and the public get Together to tackle climate

Corporate leaders get Together

Business leaders joined ‘Together’ today to celebrate the climate campaign’s one year anniversary.

Together works with partners to make green consumer choices the easy option in a bid to tackle climate change, and shows how by working together, small actions can make a big difference.

Brown, Blair and Boris Johnson joined with celebs, business leaders and members of the public, to launch the online film, Together, We Can, which will be emailed to 1,300 of the most influential UK individuals on climate change.

In its first year, voluntary corporate efforts pledged under the campaign have helped British consumers save half a million tonnes of CO2 (equivalent to taking 195,000 family cars off the road for a year) and over £100million pounds on household bills. New partners announced today include Coca Cola, Warner Bros, MySpace, The National Trust, Business in the Community (BITC) and WRAP.

David Hall, Together’s Campaign Director, says: ‘People can save hundreds of pounds a year by making greener everyday choices. The ‘green’ penny is definitely dropping for British shoppers feeling the pinch from rising living costs. More people are cottoning on to the fact that going green is not only easier and cheaper than they thought and but can also keep a lid on runaway household bills.’

Together launched the new Savers Guideto coincide with its anniversary celebrations, outlining how going green can counter the rising costs of living.
