Summer Solstice
Join us to celebrate SUNday on June 23rd

All year, every year, solar radiation travels 93 million miles from the sun to our Earth. It is the source of nearly all the energy that sustains life on our fragile planet - including the forces of wind and water.

SunDay is an international event held every year on the Sunday nearest the summer solstice. It aims to raise awareness of our current dependence on finite fossil fuels and the ways that we can now harness renewable energy sources to power our world without pollution.

Following on the success of last year's event, the Green Shop are again hosting this areas contribution to the International Solar Energy Society's (ISES) celebration of solar power. This is one of many events taking place all over the UK, co-ordinated by ISES. It will be both an informative and a fun day supported by local organisations and suppliers to the Green Shop. There will be displays and information on solar water heating, stand-alone and grid connected photovoltaic systems, small to medium wind turbines, Sunpipes, energy saving grants and ideas, plus natural paints and wood finishes. On the fun side, there will be something for everyone, from non-toxic face paints and Organic ice cream, to live music and delicious food.

SunDay will give you a taste of sustainable living techniques and will demonstrate how easy it is for you to make a difference. If you want to know more about how to install your own solar hot water system, reduce your household's consumption of fossil fuels with a wind turbine or a photovoltaic system, or even how to best apply natural paints - this is your opportunity to ask an expert.

There will also be the chance to see the latest in transport that is kinder to our environment, with electric, LPG and dual fuel vehicles in attendance - together with some pedal power! The Green Shop will be open, with its huge range of books; natural paints; body care products; solar and rainwater systems; wind turbines; solar toys, lights and fountains - and much more.

Come along and find out how YOU can help to create a cleaner, safer place to live. For SUNday events in other areas see the Solar Energy Society events page.

The event opens at 10 am and runs through the day until 4.30 pm. Look for the AA signs.
