With the Christmas season a few weeks away now I thought it would be a good time to update you all on the upcoming green Christmas fairs, fetes and gatherings this month and next. If you’re like me and find the High Street slightly souless and far too hectic in the run up to Christmas [...]

Some time back I blogged about the first carbon neutral triathlon which my sister helped organise with the Crystal Palace Tri club as she was concerned about the environmental effect of the race. It involved making the event as environmentally friendly as possible and generally making competitors, marshalls and visitors aware of the impact of [...]

I’m really pleased to announce that the UK’s very first Eco Chic Wedding & Home Show will take place on Sunday 8th March 2009 from 11-4 in Birmingham.  I have joined forces with fellow green girl Katie from Ethical Weddings and Michelle from Just The Thing to organise this event and we are really excited [...]

A few months back I discovered a hidden gem just a few minutes from the high street in town whilst out shopping. Whilst everyone knows about farmer’s markets the country markets seem to be a well kept secret. There are over 12,000 local producers who sell their goods at 400 markets throughout the U.K. The [...]

Well it has certainly been a busy few months for me with green event season now in full swing. We began our GreenFinder summer tour at U.K Aware which was a fantastic exhibition for green consumers followed by Sheffield green city days and Camden green fair. This weekend sees the third annual Redditch green fair [...]

I have to admit it but we don’t have the best view from our front room window. In fact for lovely leafy Leamington it’s perhaps not the best view or most typical of our town. I live opposite a car show room that has flags flying in the daytime, lights glaring at night time and [...]

After months and months of planning the U.K Aware Greener Living Expo will take place at the Barbican in central London on the weekend of May 10th & 11th. It is set to be one of the biggest events of its kind and I for one have already been caught up with the excitement of [...]
