Another big event coming up in October is the 10:10:10 Global Work Party day being coordinated by 350.org. Amazingly there are over 4,000 events happening in 171 countries – that means that just 17 countries in the world don’t yet have an event planned; they’ve got a week to sort that out though!
In Dalson, Green Sundays are organising a fun day of activities at two sites. The festivities kick off at the Dalston Eastern Curve Garden in the afternoon and then migrate over to the new Arcola Theatre site on Ashwin Street. Here is the full programme:
