Make it Maidstone - Make it Green
Town Centre Management (TCM) is holding its second green week, Make it Maidstone – Make it Green, from Monday, August 24 to Saturday, August 29, as part of its ongoing commitment to make the County Town the most environmentally aware in Kent and beyond.
The event, which has been organised in association with Countrystyle Waste Management and Kent County Council (KCC), aims to highlight the need for us all to adopt a greener lifestyle.
Week-long exhibitions are being held in the Mall Chequers, Fremlin Walk and the Royal Star Arcade where visitors will learn more about ways in which they can change their lifestyle to help slow down climate change.
Among the exhibitors will be KCC, MBC and Countrystyle Waste Management who will be reinforcing the reduce, reuse and recycle message.
There will also be
information about sustainable transport initiatives such as the
Maidstone Car Club run by KCC in partnership with Streetcar, to cut
traffic
congestion.
The week culminates in the second
In Town Without My Car Day on Friday, August 28, when everyone will
be
encouraged to do just that and leave their cars at home.
TCM has already demonstrated that environmental issues are high on its agenda through a number of initiatives, including its high-profile Bin the Bag campaign which has radically reduced the number of plastic bags being used in the County Town.
Town centre manager Bill Moss said “We are encouraging people and businesses to work together to make Maidstone as environmentally friendly as possible and in so doing to make our town a better place to live and work in.
“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.”
