GREEN FAIR

Waltham Forest Council holds this annual Green Fair event, every year and it is a highly successful and enjoyable occasion. Many green groups, environmental schemes, animal interests, organic produces, community groups and activists are represented at this event.
The Green Fair aims to improve people’s awareness of green issues and help people to make the small changes to their lives, which can help to make a dramatic effect on the environment.
Event Details
This year it will be held at Lloyd/Aveling Park on Sunday 22 July, from 12 noon to 6pm.
The Council’s Environment portfolio holder Councillor Bob Belam said:
“Do you know; if everyone installed just one energy saving light bulb the CO2 emissions saved would fill 2 million double-decker buses and if each house installed three energy saving bulbs, it would save enough energy to run the country's streetlights for a year! As well as the helping the environment, installing a low energy bulb will save about £9 per year on your electricity bill, so if you replace every light in the house; how much will you save?”
As well as showing people how easy it is to help the environment, the Fair will bring green traders and the public together enabling local people to buy energy saving devices, which will end up saving both money and CO2 emissions.
