A worthwhile cause
We attended twestival in Shoreditch, London 12th February 2009. It was a great event and to top it all off we have made a small difference in this world and had some fun too.
We are amazed how much one can do by just putting some team work together and the belief that we can make a difference. www.charitywater.org/twestival/

HIGH FASHION MAKEOVER FOR ENERGY SAVING GADGET
Sky launches exclusive designer Energy Saving
Monitor to celebrate Earth Day
To celebrate Earth Day on 22nd
April Sky has collaborated with acclaimed fashion designer Richard Nicoll to create
a limited edition Wattson energy monitor that helps people keep an eye on how
much energy is being used around the home. Richard Nicoll’s retro star print design
gives the quirky energy saving monitor a new look and makes a stylish addition
to households looking to save money and cut their energy consumption. Created by UK design collective DIY
Kyoto, the clever, wireless Wattson device shows you how much electricity is
being used around the house at any one time and can help cut annual electricity
bills by up to 25% at a time when saving money. Sky is launching the limited edition
Wattson as part of its support for Earth Day in the UK. The event has been
marked all over the world since 1970 as a day to encourage people to appreciate
the planet and raise awareness for climate change issues. In addition to making
the designer energy saving monitors available for free to help people cut their
energy consumption around the home; Sky is also scheduling a day of
environmental programmes – of all kinds - on nine channels ranging from
green-themed The Simpson’s episodes on Sky1 to documentaries such as Extreme
Ice’ in high definition on National Geographic. As a designer Richard Nicoll’s
catwalk collections have received high praise in recent years since his first
collection was shown in 2005. Born in Britain and raised in Australia the
designer graduated from Central St Martin’s college, before working with
fashion houses including Louis Vuitton along side Marc Jacobs. He is now
considered one of London’s most talented young designers and was named “Best
Young Designer” at the recent Elle Style Awards. Richard Nicoll says “The environment
is a subject close to my heart so I wanted to lend my creative support to this
project with Sky and help raise awareness for Earth Day. Hopefully my design for the energy
saving monitor will help people make changes around the house to have a
positive and lasting impact on the environment.” Usually retailing at £99, Sky will
be giving away the Richard Nicoll limited edition Wattson to celebrate Earth
Day, for the chance to win one visit:
