Delabole Wind Fair 2007
Saturday 18th August from 11am-6pm Entrance is free
Good Energy is hosting the third Delabole Wind Fair this year on
Saturday 18th August. It is a day to celebrate renewable energy and all
things sustainable. In 2006, more than thirty companies and
organisations involved in eco-living and green energy came to exhibit
and 3000 visitors came along and enjoyed a great day out.
Like last year, we aim to have wind turbine tours, forums about
generating electricity at home, lots of entertainment for kids and
grown ups, plenty of local and organic food and drink, live music and a
spectacular turbine illumination.
This year will have a large focus on generating electricity at home. We
have made films and will be hosting forums with question and answer
sessions so people can get all the information required to begin
generating electricity at home. Experts on the subject will be doing
talks and there will also be installers of various microgeneation
technologies there to give guidance.
The event will be held in the Gaia centre, Delabole, Cornwall. Come rain or shine its going to be a fantastic day.
In the coming weeks you can find more information at the Good Energy
website but if you are a business involved in small scale renewables,
an organic food and drink producer or a children’s entertainer and you
would like to take part in this year’s Wind Fair, please email

Eco-Eating at http://www.brook.com/veg :
“Vegetarianism is literally about life and death — for each of us individually and for all of us together.
Eating animals simultaneously contributes to: their suffering and death; the ill-health and early death of people; the unsustainable overuse of oil, water, land, topsoil, grain, labor, and other vital resources; environmental destruction, including deforestation, species extinction, mono-cropping,
and global warming; the legitimacy of force and violence; the mis-allocation of capital, skills, land, and other assets; vast inefficiencies in the economy; tremendous waste; massive inequalities in the world; the continuation of world hunger and mass starvation; the transmission and spread of dangerous diseases; and moral failure in so-called civilized societies.
Vegetarianism is an antidote to all of these unnecessary tragedies.”
