MOMO theatre (www.momotheatre.co.uk) is a friendly, flexible organisation producing presentations, workshops and shows. Over the last 7 years they have gained an impressive reputation for providing effective, educational and entertaining productions all over the UK. Much of their experience has been in the area of sustainability and the environment and they create shows that are highly effective in informing, educating and encouraging behavioural change. They are also doing everything they can to be environmentally friendly such as using electricity from renewable energy and using waste chip oil to fuel their own vehicles. MOMO Theatre will be providing two shows per day over the 2 day event covering topics such as “Alternatives to using your car”, Waste – Reuse, Reduce, Recycle and Compost and Energy Efficiency.

If you are inspired by what
you see at GreenBuild and want to learn more about how eco-technologies
and building techniques work in practice, book yourself on one of CPRE
Norfolk Green Buildings Open Days, taking place from Thursday September 23rd to
Sunday September 26th. This popular annual event offers guided tours
of environmentally-friendly properties across the county, including New Victory
Hall in Neatishead, possibly one of Britain's greenest village halls; a former
pub in Corpusty which is being slowly refurbished by the owners
incorporating green technologies where possible; and
a pre-fabricated home, designed in
Norfolk, built in Bavaria, and erected in just 30 hours.
