Hanwell Carnival - 15th June 2019

Ealing FoE took part in the Hanwell Carnival again this year, focusing on the Plastics and Air Pollution & Climate Change campaigns.

 

Our stall included information boards and campaign leaflets, zero-waste products to sell, and a selection of second-hand books and plants, also for sale.

 

EFoE members took turns wearing our ‘Octopus’ festooned with plastic rubbish (see photo), and we engaged with visitors, especially families, about recycling, encouraging them to sign the Plastics campaign petition and buy some of our products. We had a separate table and bench for children to colour in templates of marine animals.

 

We attracted many families to our stall during the day and collected nearly three pages of signatures on a petition urging the Government to reduce manufacturers' and retailers' production of plastic waste.
