A host of top models, musicians and actors have teamed up with Global Cool to show UK fashionistas how wrapping up warm this winter can stop us from wasting money on home heating bills, and also benefit our health and the planet. International models Laura Bailey and Stella Tennant join Jo and Leah Wood, musician VV Brown, and Eastenders’ Adam Croasdell in a series of short films that show you how to turn up the style and turn down the heat this winter.

‘18 Degrees of Inspiration’ is the latest campaign launched by forward-thinking climate change charity Global Cool. Its aim is to inspire the UK’s fash-pack to go easy on the heating this winter and keep thermostat temperatures below 18 degrees Celsius, by showing you how to wear this season’s latest knitwear trends at home.

KT Tunstall - Globally Cool

Thu, 27 Sep 2007 09:25:00 +0000

She is Scottish, she is a rock star, she has sold millions of albums all around the world, and yet she does not own a car or even a television. Her new recording studio has been built using 100% reclaimed wood, sheep’s wool insulation, and solar panels, and her house is the same. When it comes to being environmentally friendly, singer/songwriter KT Tunstall is almost as revolutionary as her music.

September saw the release of Tunstall’s third album, Drastic Fantastic, which quickly climbed to the top of the charts in many countries. It has already outsold her 2006 release, “Acoustic Extravaganza”, and is set to reach the lofty levels of 2005’s “Eye To The Telescope”.

But music is only one of Tunstall’s passions, the other being the state of the environment. When not performing or recording, Tunstall is usually found hard at work supporting ecological causes. In 2005, she planted 6000 trees in Scotland to offset the environmental cost of her first CD. And July 2007 saw her perform an extremely energetic set at the Live Earth concert held at Giant’s Stadium in New Jersey.
