Feed the pig at Green Pastures
Want to know how much wind energy a home can generate? Or see what comes out of a ‘rolypig’ composter? Get down to Green Pastures to see green innovations in action! Green Pastures, Wokingham Borough Council’s green event of the year, is set to be a fascinating showcase of all things ecological and a great day out for people of all ages.
Being held at Dinton Pastures (an ENCAMS awarded Eco-centre) on August 18 from 10.30am to 4pm, the event will feature stalls from all kinds of environmentally-friendly organisations – from national bodies such as the Environment Agency to local groups such as Wokingham Friends of the Earth and businesses such as Ecotricity. Wind energy experts Segen will have a stand where visitors can try out a free wind-speed checker. And Rolypig, makers of fun pig-shaped composters, will be bringing along a real Rolypig that visitors can feed with green waste to see composting in action! The day will also include lectures on topics such as the use of solar panels and how to insulate your home.
Visitors could also take the opportunity to enjoy the park’s regular activities, such as a stroll around the lake, or take the children to the play area. Or relax at the café and enjoy a delicious home-made cake.
Normal car parking charges of £1 will be in effect, so visitors are encouraged to take public transport, walk or cycle to the event.
