Freecycling at UK AWARE
When you drop into UK AWARE (Olympia 2, London – Fri 17-Sat 18 April) be on the lookout for freebies.
More especially, free 2009 Calendars of Climate Change. Creator and eco publisher Diana Korchien of Flipside Vision will be walking the floor buttonholing members of the public to talk about the joys of Freecycling and urging them to join this wonderful network.
She hopes to garner as many as 200 new Freecyclers at the event (a very
modest and wholly achievable target, we think), and is giving a
calendar to each person who pledges to sign up. In case you still
haven’t heard of Freecycle, it keeps perfectly serviceable goods out of
landfill through a global yet local trading and swapping network. (See
http://www.freecycle.org/)
Fact: By 2010, all landfill sites serving the London area will be full to capacity. 2010. Not 2012. 2010. Just think about it.

The UK Aware Show at London Olympia was another great success this year. Over 100 green companies and organisations attended, keen to expose the latest green products and services.
I found that most of the stands were full with interested visitors, admiring electric cars, mopeds, scooters, bikes, green energy tariffs and a whole host of other cutting edge green products and services.
I believe that over 7,000 visitors attended.
The team at MoreEco managed to make a visit so we could absorb what was happening. We also managed to take some pics with the iPhone (apologies for the quality – just wish it had a better camera)
