The Love London Green Festival, which is set to run from 4 through 28 June, will feature nearly 200 different eco-oriented events across the capital.

Billed as one of the largest annual green festivals in the world, Love London will kick off with a Recycled Sculpture Show at the WWT Wetland Centre in Barnes.

Other events, many of which are free or inexpensive, will include the Wandle Valley Festival in Croydon, the Revolve Eco-rally near City Hall, the big Green Borough Festival in Barking, and Insider London’s cutting-edge Green Tour. The festival this year is also putting a focus on Eco-Thrift to show Londoners that saving the planet can also save them money.

The festival’s Green Innovations events will include an eco-vehicle rally and a climate change art exhibition.

This year, Love London organisers have partnered with a mobile phone recycling scheme, which will raise money to support sustainable projects across the city. They’ve also established a global video-conference on sustainable building materials and close ties with a sister festival in Vancouver.
