People are more and more concerned about climate change, pollution and waste but don't always feel they can do anything about it - in fact we can all do our bit, more easily than you think. Imagine Islington is a fun, family-friendly day showing the latest ways of living, travelling and shopping greener.”<br><br>The Imagine Islington event invites residents to imagine a greener future for the borough and to share their ideas on what sustainability means for Islington, and how these local issues can impact on a wider global scale.<br><br>Activities and stalls will be concentrated around Angel town centre at Islington Green, Islington Farmers’ Market, the N1 Shopping Centre, St Mary’s Church, Chapel Market, and Culpeper Community Garden. A range of Upper Street cafes and restaurants will also be participating. Trail maps will be available on the day.<br><br>Imagine Islington is the culmination of the borough’s activities for London Sustainability Weeks (5-19 June).
