• Schools are a good thing. Solar power is a good thing. We think 10:10 is a pretty darn good thing. What if we could combine all three? 10:10's very own Solar Schools hero Amy tells us how Mumsnet, Reading Borough Council, the Reading Post and 10 schools will work to generate their own energy by raising the cost of solar panels from the community. Kick-off is in September this year. Watch this space for regular news and updates.

• 10:10 sign-up Maidenhead Synagogue is well on their way to saving their 10% after installing solar panels on its roof. The hope is that the panels will encourage as many as 800 congregants to follow suit and install their own panels, as well as engaging more deeply with carbon-cutting measures in general.
• 10:10 Germany registered another great sign-up this week, as ecogood, a German climate change advice service, joined the campaign. After years of carbon cutting already behind them, the ecogood team felt 10:10 was just the challenge they needed. And while working on their own footprint reduction, they're also planning to bring other start-ups in their office on board.

• 10:10ers Mark and Debbie, who run communications consultancy Ideal World, reported a 15% carbon cut over the past 12 months. Monitoring gas meters, investing in a new electric car and installing specialist insulation not only helped to keep the footprint down but also helped save a few pennies.
