Sidmouth festival goes green
posted by Cptn
Carnival is a perfect time to go green - at least that’s what the Sid Valley Energy Action Group (that’s SVEAG to you) think.
Cycle driven trailers, wind turnbines and solar panels and five Segway devices will be part of the proceedings. And the group is calling on people to make their own fun, portable piece of kit that flashes or makes a noise and is powered by sustainable energy.
Derek Chant, the SVEAG carnival co-ordinator, told the Sidmouth Herald: “Traditionally the carnival is based on lots of diesel engines and lights, we are trying to show there are alternatives, all we hope to do is promote renewable energy and energy saving.”
