Green things to do this weekend: Sustainability show, Reading Big Green Market and more

Looking for something earth-friendly to do this weekend? There's plenty to choose from, with the main event being the first Sustainability Show at the 02 centre in London. The show promises to cover all areas of sustainable living, from ethical fashion, cosmetics, holidays and investments to cars, travel and much more. There'll be new products to try out, screenings of Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth (if you haven't yet discovered what the fuss is about), an electric vehicle rally and a programme of forums, lectures and presentations to discuss many of the issues highlighted will be run during the show.

Also taking place this weekend is Reading's Big Green Market, one of many eco-friendly fairs that will be taking place all over the UK in the run up to Christmas. An ideal place to find unusual and sustainable gifts, it's a street market with a conscience -- expect an exciting range of green, eco-friendly, ethically traded and organic products offering some highly original and alternative gift ideas for all.

Colchester Green Fair is taking place at Colchester Arts Centre fropm 10am - 3.30pm. Featuring craft and food stalls, hot and cold refreshments, plus information and ideas, entrance is by donation. There's a creche available next door at the Friends Meeting House
