HELP SPREAD GREEN IDEAS THROUGHOUT THE BOROUGH!
To coincide with London-wide events the Sustainable Haringey network are calling on people who live or work in Haringey to organise a range of green activities during June. Like last year, we’re encouraging all kinds of events in parks, meeting halls, in schools, on the street, and in workplaces. The idea is to spread green ideas far and wide throughout the borough. We are compiling and publicising a list of any local events organised - so please think of something you plan to do and let us know asap! The following events are confirmed so far...
