We all make New Year’s resolutions, from a ban on alcohol, to a no-chocolate diet. This year, at Ted Baker, we’re pledging to do something a bit more worthwhile. We’re all pledging to work a bit more greenly for want of a better term.

A summary of our more day-to-day pledges are below. They’re not rocket science, but if you fancy joining us, vote below. Alternatively, let us know what you’ve got planned for your resolutions.

Not everyone sleeps in on New Year’s Day, recovering from the previous night’s revelry. Oh no, people get up to all sorts of shenanigans. Here are five of our favourite events from around the world that celebrate New Year’s Day.

1. Here in London, the 23rd major street parade attracts thousands of performers and spectators to Big Ben at noon. [Read more…]

Everyone knows Scotland go mad for Hogmanay. In Stonehaven, 16 miles south of Aberdeen, the celebrations are more spectacular than most. There, at the stroke of midnight, 60 locals march through the town swinging fireballs. Take a look at The Stonehaven Fireballs Association. [Read more…]

The first part of our Green500 journey was an invite to a conference to learn about the dangers of greenwashing. Greenwashing is when companies make over-the-top claims about how they or their products help the environment. [Read more…]

While each of our stores is special, it appears that Ted Baker & Friends on Cheapside in the City of London might be a cut above even our sky high standards.

For most of us Christmas is about eating, drinking and falling asleep in front of the telly. Some brave souls however, reject such sedate activities. Instead choosing to brave the elements and having a nice al fresco dip on Christmas Day.

Every Christmas day since 1864, the Serpentine Swimming Club have braved the icy waters of Hyde Park’s Serpentine lake for an unusual prize. The swimmers race for the Peter Pan Cup (as presented by the author J.M. Barrie in 1904) which is awarded to the first one over the 100 yard mark.

They’re not the only ones either. In Brighton, the members of Brighton’s Swimming Club go for a morning dip in the sea. It’s now turned into a big spectator event, with hundreds of visitors watching from the seafront each year. Maybe they’re just trying to avoid cooking the turkey?

There are plenty more where they come from too. Click here to see if there’s a swim near you.
