#itshappening: real signs of a brighter future
5 Oct 12
Did you know that the UK broke its own wind power record last month – twice!
You don't have to look far for bad news on climate change, but there are also signs of progress all around us. Renewables are on the rise, community projects are breaking through, and scientific advances are boosting the efficiency of everything from lorries to lightbulbs. Slowly but surely, it's happening
We think this is a story worth telling, and with your help we're going to give it a shot. So today I'd like to introduce you to our newest project: #itshappening.
#itshappening is all about images; visual examples of the good stuff that's going on right now. Large or small, local or global – if it's cutting carbon, it's in! Can you help us show how #itshappening in your world?

Where the magic happens
Back in October, the 10:10 community got together for the Pitch Pledge Party event and helped us kick off our work in kidney units where we retrofit heat exchangers on inefficient dialysis machines.
It's all pretty technical but each upgraded unit uses a hefty 20% less energy.
Spreading the word
Since my last update in December, we've been working with Braun (the company that makes the machines we're upgrading) to track down and get in touch with everyone who owns, one of the inefficient old models. Braun itself also runs a number of units and we are following these up to ensure they're all fitted with the carbon-saving heat exchangers.
It's climate week!
13 Mar 12
Every week is climate week here at 10:10 HQ, but this week is Climate Week, which is different.
For the uninitiated, Climate Week is a year-round campaign that culminates in a week-long extravaganza of practical carbon-cutting goodness, with good stuff springing up all over the country.
