Trafford is my Planet

In local neighbourhoods and in our homes, what seem like small changes in behaviour will actually make a huge difference. This campaign is promoting that it's the people who have the power to make a real and dramatic change. Every time we boil a kettle, leave a TV on standby or drive a car, we use energy. The more we use, the more greenhouse gases we create and the more we change the world’s climate. Trafford Council are supporting the Manchester is my Planet campaign as part of the Green Energy Revolution for climate change. The first step was to achieve a goal of 10,000 pledgers across Greater Manchester before the end of October 2005 to be signed up on the campaign website, this figure was exceeded with a remarkable 10,500 pledges.
