If you would like to do your bit to stem climate change why not take a look at the item below & perhaps make a personal gain at the same time!
L.A
The 10:10 climate change campaign (the working together' project to cut the UK's carbon emissions by one tenth this year) is offering a chance to win an original Picasso linocut, printed in five colours, each from a separate linocut block, signed by the artist. All you have to do is answer a question about Picasso's work and buy a ticket (priced at £10.10). Correct entries will be drawn at random at the end of this month and all proceeds will go to the 10:10 campaign.
