  • Freshly cut trees from sustainable woodland are stacked on an airfield in Suffolk, United Kingdom,  to dry out on the disused concrete runway.  The drying process takes about a year.  This area of the UK is rich in woodland and this wood can provide a sustainable source of heat when used in efficient boilers. This is exactly what local schools are doing thanks to the local council which is managing the resource while supplying wood-fuel for heating. The initiative saves the schools energy, reduces CO2 emissions by 1,200 tonnes a year and cuts their fuel bills by up to 25%.  Suffolk County Council won an Ashden Award for its approach to susatainability.

  • With her baby on her back, a Hmong ethnic minority woman in Ban Long Lan harvests Arabica coffee cherries for ‘Saffron coffee’, Luang Prabang province, Lao PDR. The coffee is grown in the high mountain peaks and plateaus in Luang Prabang over 800 meters above sea level. In November, December and January Saffron Coffee coffee farmers gather all of their family members to hand pick only the red-ripe cherries. It will take several passes over these few months to harvest all of them. These farmers were once producers of opium, but who have been impoverished by lack of a replacement crop in the wake of opium’s prohibition by the Lao government. Saffron Coffee’s goal in helping these farmers grow coffee is to give them a viable and sustainable cash crop, developing their economy, and thus giving them the ability to buy medicines and send their children to school.

  • A train travels past an array of solar panels next to the line near Aldershot Railway Station on 23rd August 2019 in Aldershot, United Kingdom. This innovative project is the first in the UK to power the railway with electricity generated from solar power and, if successful, could see many Network Rail sites across the country adapting this sustainable energy approach. Riding Sunbeams is a social enterprise, run by 10:10 Climate Action. Built with Community Energy South and partnered with Network Rail and The Department for Transport and by InnovateUK.  Aldershot, Hampshire, United Kingdom. Riding Sunbeams is a world leading project to connect solar panels directly into electrified rail routes to power the trains. Direct supply of solar power to rail traction systems has never been done. But it has huge potential - from metros, trams and railways in the UK and around the world.
