Get off on the environmentally friendly foot for Christmas (Contributed)

CHRISTMAS seems to be looming fast and for many of us it is a time of much expense, somewhat wasteful and an awful lot of recycling generated as a result!
Well here is your chance to start Christmas off on the right foot!

Join us at our Christmas Green Fayre this year on Saturday 21st November at Thame Town Hall, 10am ? 3pm. Here you can browse around Local and Fair trade stalls selling a variety of gifts, crafts, jewellery, clothes and produce, for more environmentally friendly Christmas shopping.

If you have any toys to sell before Christmas, or are looking for second hand toys, why not make use of the Toy Exchange at the Green Fayre. All you have to do if you are selling is to bring clean items in good condition along to the Town Hall between 9am and 10 am on the day, and collect unsold items at 3pm. Friends of the Earth will keep 25% of the selling price for all items sold. All toys must be clearly labeled with your name, telephone number and the asking price.

Another service we are offering at the Green Fayre is collecting some more unusual items for recycling, as follows: unwanted stamps, foreign coins, old reading glasses, mobile phones, CDs, used batteries and empty printer cartridges. So start collecting and bring along on the day!

There will be free Christmas activities for children, with Christmas gardens, making cards and table top arrangements, all using recycled materials.

Entrance to the Green Fayre is free, with free lucky dip prizes for the children and free mulled wine and mince pie to begin your Christmas cheer.
