Fed up of getting up in the dark?

Enjoy going to work in the dark?

Sick of It being dark and gloomy on your way home?

You can now lobby our MP Geoffery Cox to back the 'Lighter Later' campaign which would see an extra hour of daylight throughout the year.

By following the link to the Later Lighter website you can send a letter directly to Mr Cox MP.

Excerpt from the lighter later website:

Everybody loves the sunshine. But every year we set our clocks so that we get less of it in our lives, sleeping through the sunlit mornings while we use expensive, polluting electric lights to keep out the dark nights. Lighter Later is a campaign to brighten all of our days, by changing the clocks so we are awake when the sun is out.

The idea is simple: we shift the clocks forward by one hour throughout the entire year. We would still put the clocks forward in spring and back in autumn, but we would have moved an hour of daylight from the morning to the evening, when more of us are awake to enjoy it.

Lighter Later is also the best proof yet of 10:10's bright idea – that cutting carbon and making life better can and should go hand in hand.
