Hug by Eddie Opara

Eddie Opara, Pentagram designer, wants to encourage people to turn down the thermostat and turn up the love with his poster.

“I’m attracted to the idea of using human warmth rather than heating. It’s something you can do with a friend, but it’s also a warm and loving message you can share with a friend – a positive message about climate change, not one that puts the effing fear of God into you.”

Why?

Heating is responsible for about 60% of a household’s energy usage – and yet more than half of us have our thermostats set above the recommended temperature of 18-21C.

How?

What better way to share body heat than with a jumper made for two?
