London Olympia – 17th and 18th April 2009
Following the success of its May 2008 inaugural show LONDON AWARE 08, UK AWARE will take over Olympia Two on Friday 17th and Saturday 18th April 2009 and expects in excess of 10,000 visitors.
It is the UK’s only public facing green lifestyle show with a proven track record. Zac goldsmith of the Ecologist magazine said; “The sheer diversity of activities on show at UK AWARE is testament to how much we can all do to make a difference. It’s inspiring.”
UK AWARE has chosen Olympia because it was imperative to use a venue which aligned itself ethically. EC&O have recently won an AEO award in recognition of their sustainability initiatives, so it was a natural choice. In an industry which traditionally has a large carbon footprint it is great to be able to work with a venue which is setting the industry standard, not just as a venue, but as a sustainable venue.
Danny Carnegie, Founder of UK AWARE said; “We’ve got an interactive, mainstream show which is going to blow the socks off the UK Consumers. Expect lively debate, amazing exhibitors and an opportunity to experience the future of consumerism for the benefit of this planet.
Exhibitors and speakers include Oxfam, Trevor Baylis OBE, Fairtrade foundation, Method, Green Homes Concierge Service, Greenpeace, G Wiz and many exciting consumer products and services. Live music and entertainment plus other unique exhibitors will be announced in due course.

Eco My Party is a finalist in the ITV “This Morning” Mumpreneur Award
Newly joined Ethical Junction member eco my party will be needing your votes on Wednesday 22nd October so that an eco idea wins This Morning’s award for entrepreneurial mothers.
Helen Thomson of eco my party is through to the finals of the Mumpreneur competition and needs your support for her growing brand of 100% compostable party supplies. And who doesn’t love a party? Well, now you can eco your parties with eco my party’s totally eco party supplies!
Did you know that the average plastic party cup is never going to truly disappear? And the UK chucks 4 billion of these into landfill every year. That’s giving the world one massive hangover.
But eco my party’s party supplies will make the world feel a whole lot better. Everything from their tableware to their decorations is 100% compostable, and it all naturally breaks down in only a few weeks. So the waste from one party can be used to grow the flowers and food for the next. Why be green on your own when you can get your friends together and party like there IS a tomorrow?
Helen’s eco party brand has got her through to the semi-finals, but she needs you to show your support for her mission to get people partying more and wasting less by phoning in and voting for her to go through to the show’s final on Friday 24th October which will help her to revolutionise the disposable party ware market and put a stop to pointless plastic cups!

What is at the very core of what we all strive for? Do we actually have a shared strategy?
Lloyd Apter of eee.coop champions co-operation over competition
In a world where the strongest and richest rule, where focus and planning make things happen, what is our plan? Without a shared plan we are all pushing too little (some notably more than others but on global and even national terms still too little) in too many directions towards making our planet a friendly home. And that are we really trying to achieve? Greener and healthier living? Ethics? Equality? There is no way we can change the existing backward systems without a common focus. Is there a common thread that connects us all?
Logically we all know that there is a common thread connecting us all to a single core what we are all working so hard to reach. And it is very hard work indeed.
So, why are we all competing so much, not just between ourselves but with the wonderful and harmless domestic animals and the amazing wild animals as well?
It’s because we view our planet as having limited resources. But slowly we are starting realize that if we are smart and considerate enough we start discovering that there are, in fact, unlimited resources around us, at everyones disposal.
So, why continue to compete when there is plenty to share?
This is an attitude that requires a leap of faith. We need to share with an open hart. Give totally equal opportunity to those who are less fortunate than us. We don’t want power we want peace. We yearn to feel one with everything and to achieve this we need to physically connect with everything around us.
Our very ability to change and adapt has enabled us to evolve to who we are today. In fact, the core of our strength is our ability to adapt. Let’s evolve together towards sharing and cooperation. We all know that there is nothing more powerful than this and once we can achieve this, the change we all want so much will happen.
