WHY A `GREEN` FAIR?!!

Planet earth is under attack! Not from terrorists or martians from outer space, but from you and me, human beings... mankind!!

We all need to alter the way we live if planet earth is to survive. Take a long hard look at the way you live your life. There`s a fair chance that pretty much everything you do effects our environment in some way. Transport, energy, consumerism, food, leisure, waste etc etc all have an enormous impact on the planet.

For the sake of our children`s future, an ever increasing amount of people, organisations & companies are talking about these issues and choosing the least harmful options. Even the government are now taking action, bringing in new laws such as the Climate Change Bill and offering advice to us all on how we should live in order to reduce our personal impact.

No matter how much you know about planet-friendly living, nobody knows it all. As always, there`ll be lots to learn, see and do at the Redditch Green Fair.


REDDITCH GREEN FAIR - SAT 13 JUNE 2009
The 4th annual, independent Redditch Green Fair will take place in and around St Stephens Church in the heart of the town centre. The fair aims to promote sustainable, eco-friendly living by providing a range of green products, fairtrade goods, organic produce, natural gifts etc combined with lots of useful information to help everyone live a cleaner, greener, more ethical and healthier life! Admission is free.

SUGGESTIONS FOR STALLS & ATTRACTIONS
If you have any suggestions for stalls or other attractions for the event, please don`t keep them to yourself, we would love to hear from you! Perhaps you run a local `green` company/organisation and would like to be part of the event. Please contact us.


ORGANISERS OF THE EVENT
The Redditch Green Fair is made possible thanks to the combined efforts of volunteers from various local grassroots green groups, who originally joined forces to stage the 2006 Fair, under the banner of Redditch Green Alliance. Since then, the groups involved have continued to work together on various issues and have changed their name to Redditch Alliance of Greens(RAG). The alliance comprises local environmental, ethical and social justice groups, all working towards a more sustainable town and planet.

Many more details can be found on our website, including a gallery of photos, reports and films from our 3 previous fairs. See  http://www.redditchgreenfair.org.uk
