布萊爾在23日活動開幕式時表示,「我完全支持這項具創意且開創性的活動,為了減少全球溫室氣體的排放量,無論在國內或是在國際社會中,英國政府將持續帶頭著手處理氣候變遷的議題。藉由個人、企業乃至於國家的攜手合作,我們就能夠面對這項挑戰,並且捍衛我們的生活方式以及我們的地球。」

英國環境部長米利班德(David Miliband)也表示,「氣候變遷所造成的影響之於每個人都是相同的,不管你是商人、政府官員或是獨立的個人,這是對我們每個人的威脅,也是對我們每個人的挑戰。我相信我們可以共同來迎接這項挑戰。」

UK Companies, Government Partner to Cut Greenhouse Gases
LONDON, UK, April 24, 2007 (ENS)

Eight large British companies have joined with Prime Minister Tony Blair to introduce a campaign that will provide consumers with products and services that make it easier to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The campaign, called "We're in this Together" will provide both ideas for behavioral change and practical solutions to help consumers reduce their household emissions by one metric ton over three years.

"I fully support this inspiring and groundbreaking campaign," Prime Minister Blair said at the launch event on Monday. "The government will continue to give a lead in tackling climate change both at home and internationally to reduce emissions globally. By working together - as individuals, businesses and nations - we can meet this challenge and safeguard our way of life and our planet."

Environment Minister David Miliband said, "Climate change doesn't discriminate. Whether you're a business, a government, or an individual, it is a threat to us all and therefore a challenge for us all. I believe that collectively we can meet this challenge."
