A serious business, but still room for fun
5:14pm Wednesday 23rd July 2008
ENVIRONMENTAL issues were to the fore at the annual Green Fair - but the seriousness of the topic did not stop people of all ages having lots of fun.
There were stalls offering advice on how to make small changes to your lifestyle in order to help save the planet.
But there was also live music, loads of children’s activities including a climbing wall and bungee jumping, free bike checks, and a flower and produce show.
And if you looked carefully, you might spot the eerily green Wild Man of the Woods on his rounds of Lloyd and Aveling Parks, Walthamstow, where the event was held on Sunday.
