About Greenweeks

We are a diverse partnership of individuals and organisations that come together each year to promote and celebrate a wide range of projects and initiatives that are making our city, conurbation and county cleaner, greener and healthier.

We do this by putting on over 100 events throughout Nottinghamshire in partnership with a wide variety of local groups, charities, businesses and councils. We very much hope you’ll find ways to take part in this year’s programme.

The date of Greenweeks has been chosen to coincide with UN World Environment Day on 5 June and EU Green Week. Greenweeks was first held in 2005 (under the name of Celebrate Sustainability) and was inspired by London Sustainability Week.

A study of Nottinghamshire’s ecological footprint has revealed that if everyone in the world consumed as much as we do, we would need three earths to support us. So, through this programme of events we hope that people will be inspired to make small changes to their lifestyle to reduce their own footprint and further improve the quality of life in Nottinghamshire.
