PM etc 10:10 yay

I find this somewhat encouraging: Gordon Brown turns down heat and Peter Mandelson gets on his bike to support 10:10 campaign | Environment | The Guardian: "The prime minister said he would turn down his central heating by one degree, ensure his appliances were not left on standby and recycle more. 'It is these small changes that, if everyone does them, will make a big difference,' Brown said, 'With fewer than 100 days until [UN climate talks in Copenhagen], this is a great opportunity to show we are all prepared to take action.'"
Just as long as they don't think that's all they have to do: but the solidifying effect of taking action and doing so publicly is probably a Good Thing.
