Make it Maidstone - Make it Green

Town Centre Management (TCM) is holding Green Week 2011, Make it Maidstone – Make it Green, from Monday, August 15th to Friday, August 19th, as part of its ongoing commitment to make the County Town the most environmentally aware in Kent and beyond.

‘Greenness’ is an issue that continues to be very important to us in all aspects of our lives, at home and in business; due to its ever evolving nature it can be difficult to keep abreast of the latest developments and methodologies, so with this in mind Maidstone Town Centre Management is bringing a fourth annual Green Week event to The Mall Chequers from 15-19 August 2011.

This year’s event is being supported by the following organisations: South East Water featuring Sally Shower, KCC with Kentjourneyshare and the Streetcar scheme, Mobility Management and Maidstone Borough Council will be showcasing their Love Food Hate Waste and composting schemes and will be running a public consultation exercise to assist with the development of a cycle strategy for Maidstone.

Fun activities for children will be available from Monday through to Wednesday. For example you can make a cute pig to keep from household items that would normally be thrown away or recycled. On Thursday and Friday you can learn how to make your own plant pot from jam and tea! Fill your pot with compost supplied by Maidstone Borough Council and watch your plant grow.

Green Week will be informative and fun and will show us all how to be a little greener in everyday life. Make It Maidstone – Make It Green

Bill Moss Maidstone Town Centre Manager said “We hope to get the message across that going green can be very easy and fun and can save you money. It’s
surprising what a difference just a few changes to your lifestyle can make.”
