Some of the events listed above come to us courtesy of the fabulous Greenfinder, by our very own Green Girl Kate. For more UK events throughout the year keep in touch with Greenfinder’s events listings.

If you’re involved in organising an eco event let us know about it and we’ll share it here on GGG.

I haven’t been able to find the link – but in the programme of Roskilde Festival they claim that there’s a whole area of green and fairtrade (due to the weather for the next couple of days I will join the mud girls global instead of green girls global) at the festival.

the area is the one surrounding the odeon stage – how cool is that ? – has anyone else any good fairtrade/green references from festivals ?

it’s so cool that they are acting on this =)
