Global Cool launches a range of videos to help us wrap up warm and keep the heating down

By Andrea Petrou on December 2nd, 2009 1 comment

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, benefit our health and save the planet.

According to the organisation, heating within the home accounts for 30 per cent of the average Brit’s carbon footprint, which is even more than cars produce at 26.1 per cent.

Figures show that for every one degree you turn your heating down, you could save up to £40 a year and go from burning 20 calories an hour to 80 calories an hour – all while you’re sleeping (well that’s a good enough reason for us).

’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 in a range of different videos including designers such as Dolce and Gabanna, McQueen, Reiss, Jaeger, Arman Bassi One, Antipodium and Diesel. They give us an exclusive look inside each celebrity’s home as a stylist helps them create an outfit to suit their lives.

We love the video below featuring supermodel Laura Bailey who gets some winter warming tips from stylist Grace Woodward.

Global Cool’s Facebook fans can also win a new winter wardrobe in association with ASOS.com – simply upload a picture of yourself wearing your most stylish winter knits, get your friends to vote for you, and you could win £500 worth of vouchers! Go to www.facebook.com/globalcool
