Help save the planet and possibly win a Picasso

The 10:10 movement has launched a new competition encouraging people to take part in its competition to win an original Picasso painting and help raise awareness about the importance of cutting carbon emissions.

The movement was launched in September to unite people in making the changes to their lifestyles that will help the UK achieve a 10 per cent cut in its carbon emissions by 2010.

It’s backed by a host of charities and environmental organisations, including Christian charity Operation, and has been launched to encourage individual action ahead of the UN’s major climate change summit in Copenhagen in December.

The new 10:10 competition invites people to enter as many times as they like to win the Picasso painting and each entry costs £10.10.
