is back and is bigger and ‘greener’ with educational activities and demonstrations from green fingered shop owners and stall holders; and visiting eco experts keen to help visitors cut their carbon foot print, advise about local sustainable issues and offer just the best eco shopping experience.  VIP eco experts include

  • Come by bike and Dr Bike will give it a free MOT and fix any minor repairs on the spot

  • Sign up to a locally grown organic vegbox delivery from Riverford and receive a free copy of the Riverford Farm cookbook
  • Chat to tapwater.org  about the damaging effects of bottled water on the environment and invest in their stainless steel reusable water bottle – all profits go tomains fed water machines for educational establishments.
  • Thames 21will talk about SE London river management, and local ecologists plus bugs will be on hand from The Creekside Discovery Centre and Greenwich Peninsula Ecology Park.
  • Make your own carbon neutral smoothie  with goodies from The Juice Bar blended by your own pedal power!
