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!
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.
