UK AWARE Partners with Climate Week 10th December, 2010

>UK AWARE will be aligning Britain’s largest sustainable lifestyle exhibition with Climate Week. The new dates of the exhibition will now be Friday 25th March and Saturday 26th March 2011. 

Climate Week is a new national occasion taking place from 21 – 27 March 2011. Thousands of businesses, charities, schools, councils and many others will run events showcasing the practical solutions to climate change, encouraging thousands more to act during the rest of the year. UK AWARE will be one of main highlights of the week, and one of the largest events taking place, providing a unique opportunity for the general public to come and discover some of the easy sustainable alternatives available for a modern lifestyle. 

UK AWARE and Climate Week share the same vision of providing a platform for ideas, demonstrating and inspiring small steps that individuals can take towards a low carbon, low impact lifestyle. Both will act as a catalyst for more people to discover, learn and create a positive impact on a personal, community and society basis. 

From political leaders to well known celebrities, Climate Week has already galvanised a huge number of famous individuals, with names as diverse as  David Cameron, Kofi Annan, Lily Cole and Sienna Miller all backing the campaign. There is support from a huge number of national and regional organisations, representing over 6 million individuals, who are all being asked to take part in a concentrated week of positive action and awareness. It is easy to see that there is a huge amount of support already behind the initiative, and UK AWARE are proud to be both a key supporter and a major feature of the week. 

UK AWARE dispels some of the myths around living a green lifestyle, while answering many of the public’s questions and creating positive messages on sustainable living. 

Danny Carnegie, UK AWARE Director said: “As a unique social enterprise, UK AWARE has been doing great work for over four years. It is very exciting to be working with Climate Week as they are a wonderful organisation and I believe that strong partnerships are key to results. According to Continental/KNOTS research, 77% of British still feel guilty about not doing enough environmentally friendly activities. Together UK AWARE and Climate Week offer realistic and accessible solutions.

Kevin Steele, Climate Week’s Chief Executive said: “We are delighted that UK AWARE is now taking place during Climate Week. It provides a superb example of the sorts of inspirational actions and positive solutions that are taking place throughout the nation, showing how everyone can do their bit to combat climate change. It should prove to be a real highlight of the week.

Notes to Editors

About UK AWARE

UK AWARE is the brainchild of brothers Danny, (a fire-fighter) and Jodie (a teacher) Carnegie who were so baffled about how to make positive changes in their day to day lives to help tackle climate change, they decided to take action to bring green business and consumers face to face.
