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.

Well we’ve finally had time to sit down and join the masses with our very own blog, Wingfingerponderings. We hope this will be a happy place, where we can trumpet about new projects, share our passions and concerns (including some that are clients care about, too) and ponder on The World and Everything In It.
This will be a spot for our Wingfinger spirit to take off – hopefully with more success than this pigeon, who tried something similar outside our office a few months back (we think he walked it off and lived to fly another day, though).
To find out more about our graphic design studio in Leeds, the services we offer and the sort of jobs we are doing, visit our Wingfinger website. Learn more about the Wingfinger team and our company ethos, our history and our clients – and have a look through our gallery of work.
