22-04-09 What did you do today to celebrate Earth Day?

The Big Green Bus crew had a fantastic sunshine-filled day out at ‘The Fold’, near Worcester (http://www.thefold.co.uk) where we met loads of lovely people. Most of the visitors had come especially because they knew the bus was going to be there, but some had spotted the bus on the way past and called in to see what it was all about. We also had an extended visit from Radio Hereford & Worcester who gave their listeners a guided tour of the bus and interviewed us about the charity. More →

08-08-08 Introducing The Big Green Idea

Hi, my name’s Brigit and it’s been nearly 18 months since I first came up with the idea of setting up a charity to try and help people find information about how to make their lives greener.
