The climate blockbuster from McLibel director Franny Armstrong starring Pete Postlethwaite as a man living alone in the devastated world of 2055, asking: why didn't we save ourselves when we had the chance?

The Age of Stupid Tories announce they will cut 10% of total UK Governnment's emissions (about 2% of total UK, I think) if they get in at the next election... First time 10:10 would be Gvt policy... Pretty amazing... Looking forward to Miliband's response - surely he won't let the Tories trump Labour on climate?

The Age of Stupid More than 20 volunteers spent the weekend spring cleaning our website and stuffing it with loads of lovely content... thank you one and all... Camden Town is officially out of chocolate biscuits, but it's a small price to pay. (Horror story coming: Ben saw someone who'd had their finger chopped off in Camden High Street this afternoon... where was Boris??)

The Age of Stupid The police, fire brigade, footie team, schools, churches, mothers' union, chamber of commerce, allotment groups... the whole brilliant city of Stoke has got together to sign up to cut all their emissions by 10% next year as part of our 10:10 campaign. Absolutely totally mind-boggingly awe-inspiringly fantastic.

It's an employment blackspot, its industrial might a thing of the past. So who'd have thought Stoke-on-Trent would be the first city to sign up to the 10:10 environmental campaign? By Jon Henley

The Age of Stupid Stupid's Franny fails to win "eco-hero of the decade", though she did beat Leonardo and James Hansen. And Caroline Lucas is a worthy winner.

Where would we be if for every good cause there could only be one winner? Everyone who stands up for what really matters, and drags a few others up after them, is a winner. We need them all.

The Age of Stupid One hour left to enter 10:10's competition to win an eco-makeover worth £15,000 - which will slash your emissions & energy bills too

www.1010uk.org
Draughty houses with huge energy bills are so last century. That's why 10:10 have teamed up with our friends at the Grand Designs Great British Refurb Campaign to turn one lucky prizewinner's house into the Home of the Future, with a full-scale energy makeover.

Thanks for your suggestion Khaled. There are quite a few syndicates already amongst the crowd-funders. But I don't think your idea would work exactly as you've described it, as we can only make one payment per share as we already have 350+ bank transfers to make each time the shareholders are paid, so couldn't make, say, 100 transfers for just one ... See Moreshare. So if you get together to buy one share with a group of friends, then we'd make one payment to whoever you designate and then that person would be responsible for sharing out to the rest of the group. Which isn't quite what you suggested. If you don't want to organise that, but do want to support the film, please make a donation instead: http://www.ageofstupid.net/money
