TOLPUDDLE FESTIVAL FOCUSES ON ENVIRONMENT

By andyinswindon

From the South West TUC web-site:

This year’s Tolpuddle Martyrs’ Festival should be the ‘greenest’ yet. The South West TUC has worked hard to encourage people to come by public transport, coach or shared cars. People will be urged to recycle and leave no waste; a wind and solar generator will be tested; all caterers are expected to come with biodegradable plates and cutlery and the new South West TUC Green Workplaces project team will be on hand to give advice. The Tolpuddle Green Camp has had a good response and local environmental campaigners and advice agencies will have stalls.

The cottages and museum have had their insulation improved and solar panels are being fitted.
