Love The Capital You're In
During London Sustainability Weeks - 3rd to 17th June 2007
London Sustainability Weeks: 3–17 June is London’s greenest festival, celebrating projects and organisations that are making a real contribution to creating a more sustainable capital.
London Sustainability Weeks provides London’s residents, workers and visitors, of all ages, backgrounds and interests, the opportunity to explore and contribute to hundreds of events, showcasing sustainable projects from major campaigns to locally based events run by residents for residents.
Events may vary hugely in their size or message, but what all have in common is that they are directly helping to make a cleaner, greener, healthier London.
Now in its fourth year London Sustainability Weeks 2007 will provide over half a million of London residents, workers, visitors and media an opportunity to discover and experience the diversity and creativity of local action and community projects that are working to make the city’s communities more sustainable.
The Love London campaign works not only with local authorities and major campaigning groups, but is unique in its commitment to promote and assist small, community based, initiatives – with a particular emphasis on those which are run by and for residents in areas of high social and economic depravation.
Local Authorities are also now actively involved. Most of London's 32 local authorities work with community groups to organise events in their own areas.
