Climate Week - March 2011

All Waste Matters are pleased to be showcasing our green credentials with the BigGreenBus at the very first UK Climate Week.

The UK's first Climate Week will take place from 21-27 March with the aim of enhancing society's approach to combating climate change by creating an unprecedented opportunity for individuals and organisations to share ideas, forge new collaborations, motivate their peers and inspire others to act.

Several hundred high-profile UK institutions, experts, activists, parliamentarians, peers and leading lights from every part of society have already committed to participating in this new national occasion.

Climate Week is backed by the Prime Minister, David Cameron, and leading figures on climate change such as former US Vice President Al Gore, Nobel Peace Prize laureate Kofi Annan and Lord Nicholas Stern.

Celebrities including Sir Paul McCartney, Michael Palin, Mark Ronson, Lily Cole and Sienna Miller have also given their support.

During Climate Week the UK will see a huge number of cultural, social, and professional events from all walks of society - all aimed at promoting diverse, practical ways of combating climate change and creating a more sustainable, low-carbon future.

In London on March 21-27 the bus will make 10 stops which include The Guild Hall and will be there for 1/2 a day at each venue promoting the following issues:

• Renewable energy
• Energy saving
• Eco and sustainable products and building materials
• Sustainability
• Recycling

As the major Waste Management contractor featured in the Big Green Book we felt this was a great opportunity to showcase our recycling ethos and help promote an issue which may one day affect us all.
