Phew! Just finished this information pack for CENEX – the UK’s national centre of excellence for low carbon and fuel cell technologies. It was a race against the clock to ensure that printed copies were available on time for conference delegates. It was close, but we made it.
After the event Chris Walsh, Head of Technical Support and Consultancy, commented:
‘Wingfinger did some great work producing our Fleet carbon reduction information packs, helping us pull the whole job together against a very tight deadline.’
If you’d like us to bring together your information in a clear and concise way, give us a call on 0113 2450469.

Wingfinger have just signed up to 10:10, a campaign to reduce carbon emissions across the UK by 10% this year.
Britain has committed to an 80% cut in emissions by 2050, but we have to start taking action now if that is going to be anything more than a pipe dream. In the Wingfinger office we’ve already tried to make energy cuts over the last few years, and aiming to get another 10% down is going to be a challenge – but it’s certainly one we think is important enough to take up! First point of interest: heating.
We really recommend taking the plunge and making a commitment to get in on the action. And we aren’t just saying this because we want to look cool and down with the green types – we’ve seen through the work that some of our clients are involved in the effects that climate change is already having on the lives of some of the poorest people in the world. Taking action on climate change is taking action on injustice.
Make a pledge and find more resources on the 10:10 website. There is also a section of the Guardian Online dedicated to the campaign, with articles, explanations and resources.

A guerilla gardening update – the birthday flower grenades have been deployed.
Pictured below are the Seedboms being prepared in a little water (although apparently they don’t have to be wet beforehand) and also a shot of the target area.
And in related birthday news, the Wingfinger Playpen now has a gallery displaying some of our favourite office birthday illustrations, alongside other hidden delights.

We had a birthday in the office this week and, as is Wingfinger custom, a special birthday card was created. (We’re hoping to put up a gallery of wild and wacky Wingfinger birthday cards in the Playpen, eventually…)
The exciting birthday present accompanying the card was a nifty piece of guerilla gardening design from a company called Kabloom. The Seedbom is basically a (grenade-shaped) lump of clay, plant food and flower seeds, ready to be thrown into your garden, your neighbour’s terrible backyard, or the local wasteground-come-fly tipping site. There is apparently enough planty goodness in the Seedbom to give the flowers the flying start they need.
Kabloom say that the Seedbom is manufactured from recycled, environmentally-friendly and locally-sourced materials, all of which we are fans of at Wingfinger!
There is more information on the Kabloom Facebook page, and you can buy your own four-pack of Seedboms at Folksy.com. (An Easter egg alternative, perhaps?)
