This week, we've got an update from the 10:10ers at Remade in Edinburgh, a handy energy-saving guide from 10:10 Brighton & Hove and exciting plans for 10:10ers in the Netherlands.

If you're responsible for your organisation's 10:10 effort, you know that this carbon-cutting business isn't always smooth sailing – sometimes you need a bit of extra help.

How-to guides are great, but there's no substitute for talking to someone who's actually been there – someone who knows what it's like to pitch an energy-saving idea to a sceptical boss, or put a shiny new transport policy into practice.

Enter the 10:10 Pioneers

This week, we're excited to introduce some very special 10:10ers to you, look back to a very successful zero-carbon-festival in Buenos Aires and wish we were in Denmark for a very special get-together being run by the 10:10 team over there. 

• Here in the UK, we're super proud to introduce the 10:10 Pioneers. Get free one-on-one advice, insight and inspiration from some of the UK's most successful 10:10ers. Sounds good? Then check out their profiles and get in touch.

This week, we celebrate another Solar School's rig going up, share details on free home energy surveys as well as two places for a youth climate workshop in Denmark up for grabs.

This week, we've got some fab job vacancies and carbon cutting tips from a 10:10 family and theatre for you and share updates and event news from Denmark and Bangladesh.

Our favourite photo of the week – solar spotting in the South Downs parish of Steyning! Check out their local 10:10 project at www.1010steyning.org

This week, we're all over two new films - one from Reading, the other from the exotic Maldives - while the Danes check out Copenhagen Fashion week's carbon credentials. 

This week, we've received (and look forward to sending you) a huge delivery of books full of tips on how to launch community  energy projects, and take our hats off to 10:10 schools for their never-ending commitment and energy!

This week, we've been keeping our fingers crossed (and phonelines busy) for the Daylight Saving Bill, debating on Reading's climate change strategy and celebrating Chiang Mai's low carbon future.

In 2012's first round up blog, we share a celebratory compilation of our 2011 10:10 highlights, an update on what might be the most exciting week in the life of the Lighter Later campaign to date, and an invitation to Argentina's very first zero carbon festival.

This week, we got a very big step closer to the first Solar Schools panels going up, kicked off the search for new 10:10 members of staff and share some end-of-year carbon cutting news from Denmark.

• We've been celebrating E.P. Collier School in Reading this week as they are the first of our Solar Schools to have smashed their fundraising target! And well ahead of schedule as well! Next step is to get the rig up on the roof. We'll keep reporting on their and other schools' progress, so watch this space.
