Two days of fun, information and more exhibitors than you can shake an eco-friendly stick at! The UK AWARE 2011 exhibitions are always among the best in the UK for the environmentally conscious and this year is going to be no exception. Not only are EcoSwitch exhibiting for the third year in a row, but a ton of other businesses as well. We are exhibiting at UK AWARE 2011, which runs on the 25th and 26th of March at Kensington Olympia from 10am to 6pm.
UK AWARE 2011 bills itself as being “Britain’s largest, longest running and best-loved sustainable lifestyle exhibition” – and that’s no exaggeration! Last year 133 exhibitors attended – a serious number in an economic climate that, let’s face it, could have been doing better. This year, 73 exhibitors have already signed up and there’ll be lots more by the time UK AWARE 2011 actually starts. And, not only that, but UK AWARE 2011 is a key highlight of Climate Week 2011. So the exhibition is truly unmissable, whichever way you look at it.
What is UK AWARE 2011?
It’s a Home and Lifestyle show for the environmentally aware, for those interested in sustainable living and for those who just maybe want to save a bit of money and look awesome at the same time. UK AWARE 2011 is not just for businesses or just for individual members of the general public – it is for everyone out there. There is even a kids interactive area to keep the little ones amused and two clothes swapping sessions each day – enabling you to re-vamp your wardrobe for nothing. With an ethical fashion show where ‘green’ is officially the new black, practical workshops where you can get all ‘hands on’ and free entry to seminars hosted by top notch speakers, there truly is something for everyone and everything for someone. There is an exciting food area where you can take a break and sample tasty nibbles – or perhaps something a little more substantial.
Especially of note is the test-drive area – it is indoors, there is a host of electric and low-carbon options and you get to have fun pretending that you are at Brands Hatch or taking part in Formula 1. What more could a car-lover (or, indeed, a motorbike-lover) want?
But does ‘green’ really mean that a business or a user is ‘green’? There are a lot of companies and people out there who call themselves ‘green’ and ‘eco-friendly’, but how do you know which ones are telling the truth…and which ones are fudging the details and blurring the edges a little bit? Come to UK AWARE 2011 and see who’s attending this year – it’s as easy as that.
This year’s top exhibitors include:
Cheeks and Cherries – for all those “gorgeously green babies” out there.
The Woodland Trust – “The UK’s leading woodland conservation charity.”
Triodos Bank – “More green. Less greed.”
The Ecologist Magazine – “Setting the environmental agenda since 1970.”
And, of course, EcoSwitch Ltd. We’ll be there and we hope to see you as well – just come up and give us a wave. We’re friendly, honest!
