Climate change organisation to talk about its social media campaign at Be2camp@WorkingBuildings2009

[Paul Wilkinson]

Malachi Chadwick from climate change campaign 10:10 will use his presentation on 7 October at the be2camp social media event at London Olympia to call on the design, construction and facilities management sector to pledge a ten percent reduction in carbons emissions through their own activities by 2010.

Held over two days during the Working Buildings trade shows at London Olympia, 7-8 October, Be2camp focuses on how social media or Web 2.0 can help the industry create a better, more sustainable built environment. 10:10 will be describing how its use of social media has made its campaign an outstanding success to date.

It is estimated that the built environment contributes 40% to the UK total carbon emissions. Those in the built environment who take up the 'vow' to cut carbons will be in good company with leading UK organisations including major corporates, institutions, politicians and individuals.
