British model Stella Tennant heads up Global Cool’s latest campaign, ‘18 degrees of inspiration’ which aims to inspire fashionistas to turn their heating down to an environmentally friendly 18 degrees Celsius - not only saving cash, but also improving your health and even helping you lose weight.
Stella explains that heating within the home accounts for 30% of the average Brit’s carbon footprint, which is even more than cars which produce at 26.1%, and goes on to lay out the benefits of taking control of your home’s central heating. 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.
But of course, no one is suggesting you sit there freezing in your home, or even worse, wrap yourself up in sludge coloured fleeces and thermal underwear - which is why Global Cool have united some of the UKs most progressive, fashion forward stylists with the likes of Laura Bailey and VV Brown to create chic and on trend looks which are hot and warm.
Do you fancy a new winter wardrobe? Global Cool’s Facebook fans can 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.

I never knew Stella Tennant was so involved in raising awarness of environmental issues, it’s really important that epople in all walks of life take responsibility for our planet. It’s the copanhagen conference at the moment so this is more poignant than ever, she looks great!
