Invitation to participate in the 2010 Bellingen New Energy Festival

The Bellingen New Energy Festival (formerly the Renewable Energy Fair) is an annual event, showcasing environmental innovation and information. The 2010 Festival will be held on Saturday 5 June, which coincides this year with World Environment Day. Sustainable organisations are now invited to register their interest. Exhibitor fees apply for businesses, community groups are free. See the attached invitation card or visit www.energyfestival.org for more information and to register.

The 2010 event program includes key-note speakers, workshops, kids activities, and live music – all around the theme of sustainability. Community groups and local businesses will be demonstrating all the ideas, products and services that can help reduce our carbon footprint and lead to a better future.The 2009 event was hugely successful. It was attended by over 4,000 people, involved 50+ exhibitors and received considerable media coverage in regional newspapers, radio and television. We anticipate that the 2010 Festival will be even better. John Hepburn, Greenpeace’s Climate and Energy Campaign Leader is one of the guest speakers. In addition to the popular exhibitions on transport, gardening and renewable energy, this year’s event will also include workshops on deep ecology, ‘DIY electric bikes’ and vegetarian cooking demonstrations. There is also a North Coast Energy Forum for businesses being held the day prior on Friday 4 June.

The Festival has now established itself as a major event for the mid-north coast and is a flagship event of the NSW Government’s 2010 North Coast Innovation Festival. The Festival is managed as a not-for-profit event.
