CtD Twitter campaign please do your bit

Our Twitter campaign has taken off and has been taken up by the 10:10 campaign, the Guardian and other environmental commentators. Join the debate at www.twitter.com to spread the word or re-tweet (RT) existing messages that can be found by searching on #closethedoor. Anyone not already using twitter can go to Youtube and the short Twitter in Plain English clip. We also have a Close the Door group on Facebook that you can join to show your support and where you can add photos of offending retailers.

Photos of open doors in the snow please

Please send in any really good pictures of open store doors with snow on the ground outside to info@closethedoor.org.uk Featuring the store sign if possible.

Your input needed

Please, please politely ask store staff - or even better the manager - to close their doors where you find them open. In this incredibly cold weather there is just no excuse for keeping them open and requests of this sort do get taken seriously and are often reported to Head Offices. Best of all, close doors where you find them open.
