UKAWARE 2011 | Friday 25th and Saturday 26th March 2011 10am - 6pm

One of the key highlight events of Climate Week, UKAWARE is a national initiative to ‘galvanise individuals, businesses and organisations to showcase the practical solutions to climate change in a concentrated week of positive action and awareness.  UK AWARE and Climate Week share the same vision of providing a platform for ideas, demonstrating and inspiring the small steps which we can take towards a low carbon, low impact lifestyle.’

>The ultimate one stop shop for contemporary sustainable living; 2011 will be their fourth year of sending out positive messages to the general public about how small changes can make a big difference, and how sustainable living doesn’t mean compromising a modern lifestyle.  Featuring thousands of innovative products and services ranging from cars to computers, from fashion to food and from eco-tourism to energy saving advice, it is a fun and educational day out for all!

With only a few more days to go, here at Green Rewards we have sieved through all their attractive activities and found 3 that you really shouldn’t miss:

1/Swaparama for the eco-conscious fashion lovers

Fed up with having unworn clothing clogging up your wardrobe? Feel bad throwing them out because you spent money buying them? Look no further! UK AWARE 2011 is offering you a chance to swap up to 5 unworn garments for 5 new pieces of garments somebody else had brought in. Of course you can bring just that one frock or those 3 tops you’ve been regretting since the day you bought them. It’s a great way to refresh your wardrobe and helps the environment – so get digging! They did also mention not being shy about those pink acrylic bell bottoms because someone might want them for their fancy dress box!

2/ ‘Ask the questions. Find the Answers’ – inspirational seminars from top-notch speakers

With a wide range of speakers from Google, BT, IKEA, DEFRA, LSE, WWF, even from The Mayor of London's office and The Green Party – their individual seminars looks to tackle some of the thorny topics that the sustainability world can raise - from feed in tariffs to the future of eco transport, ethical finance to sustainable tourism. An opportunity not to be missed if you’d like to find out how government cuts may affect the public sector’s sustainability initiatives, or how organisations cut costs whilst reducing carbon and still engage their customers.

3/ Purchase, test drive, question, learn – Green Machines Expo

One of the best loved sections of the UK AWARE show, the Green Machines Expo is a must-see. Whether you are an enthusiast or just curious, their amazing indoor test drive area on the first floor can offer you first-hand experiences with some of the latest low-carbon, electric two-wheelers and cars on the market
