April is Remade month at 10:10, which means we'll be sharing tips and skills to help you keep your favourite things working like new.

• April 2012 is Remade month, when 10:10ers around the world share the skills and build the confidence to fix their clothes, bikes, computers and anything else that needs a bit of TLC to keep it going. Don't know where to start? Check out Becca's intro blog.
• With spring in the air, we've called on our friends at London Bike Kitchen to teach us some basic bike maintenance skills so we can all get back on our bikes. Join us at our office in Camden on Tuesday 10 April for a free bike workshop followed by a talk by Green Party mayoral candidate Jenny Jones. RSVP to maddy@1010uk.org.  
• Remade tips in Dutch? No problem. Check out what 10:10 Netherlands and Microsoft recommend to remake your PC. Keen to fix your things with a little help and while having a cuppa? Then head over to Amsterdam's Repair Cafe, as featured in this blog by the 10:10 team in the Netherlands. 
• If you're based in Bangladesh, then check out the latest news about the Remade workshop in Dhaka on 20 April and don't forget to submit your pictures of things you have fixed by 15 April. One of my favourite pics of something remade so far has to be Tom's beach stereo made from scrap car stereo & broken cool box.

• 10:10 Germany and online cooking & community mag "chefkoch.de" got together this week to share some fab some low-carbon cooking tips. Why not check out their brand new checklist and prep a romantic dinner this weekend?

• One of our Solar Schools, New Town Primary, installed their solar roof! They are still fundraising for it but in order to secure the higher rate of Feed-in Tariff they just managed to negotiate an agreement between planners and installers in time to get their panels up (and enjoying the unseasonably sunny british weather!). Congrats!
• Do you live in Denmark and want to save some cash & carbon over the summer? Then check out "sommerluk", 10:10 Denmark's new initiative to help homes and offices using district heating systems to save energy.

• Ever wondered what your street would look like if everyone went for external wall insulation? Take a look. 

• Another way you can save carbon is by "working smarter". For example, you can save carbon by working while on the go or by establishing new meeting routines in cyberspace instead of using hours and fuel on transportation. Find out more about 10:10 Denmark's initiative in cooperation with Microsoft and others in this newspaper article.
• Last but not least, congrats to our most recent 10:10 action year completers: Quest for Future Solutions, who managed to cut carbon by 29% in their home office last year. Nicely done!
