Global news round up

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.

On holiday in the Lake District: "my son and I have scrambled up Side Pike and are feeling very impressed with ourselves."

After making some pretty drastic changes in our first 10:10 year, I thought our 12% saving would be hard to beat in year two.

But I needn't have worried – in 2011 we managed to bring our footprint down by 19%!

It’s hard to believe, but it’s only four months since the newest addition to the 10:10 family - Solar Schools - stepped gingerly out into the sun.

For a (super cute) reminder of what it’s all about, watch the video below!

We’re thrilled to say that our schools have already raised over £70,000 to become cleaner, greener places for pupils to learn. Against the backdrop of a recession and a turbulent time in the solar industry, we think that’s pretty incredible!
