Free day focuses on environment


A FREE day full of environmental tips, stalls, activities, food and live music will be held at a Southampton pub this Saturday.

The seventh annual Environment Rock event will be held at The Hobbit pub in Bevois Valley from midday until 6pm.

This year’s theme is how to stay green in the credit crunch, with plenty of environmental tips for the home and garden.

Visitors will be able to taste organic and fair trade wines and chocolate and there will be a barbecue available too.

More than 20 stall holders, including Southampton City Council’s recycling team, Greenpeace, the Real Nappy Network and the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, will be attending.


Green tips for the home and garden include energy-saving bulbs and water butts. Green tips for the home and garden include energy-saving bulbs and water butts.
