Newquay Zoo signs up for 10 10 campaign

Newquay Zoo is the first Zoo in the country to sign up for the national 10:10 campaign.  The campaign is trying to persuade people, businesses and organisations to reduce their carbon emissions by 10% in 2010.

Newquay Zoo recently won the award for Best Managed Medium Business at the recent Cornwall Sustainability Awards so joining the 10:10 campaign was the obvious thing to do. Sean Sanguinette, Environmental officer at Newquay Zoo said "signing up to the 10:10 campaign was a little daunting at first but the huge response you receive from the campaign staff is excellent. They are so helpful and friendly we can highly recommend other organisations to sign up."

Eugenie Harvey, 10:10 Campaign Director responded " we couldn't be more thrilled that the Zoo have joined us in this national effort to cut 10%. Just when we couldn't get anyone more colourful than Boris Johnson, we have been joined by 49 flamingos!"
