| Vision
|
The Green Roadshow is the UK's only mobile Eco-centre. It is a unique educational experience that combines workshops, hands-on activities, displays and exhibitions with fun and entertainment. Being a completely self-contained unit, it can easily fit into a large established show or form the focus of a smaller event. Our aim is to help people understand the problems facing the ecosystem and give them some practical advice on how they can change their lives to become part of the solution whilst having a positive, exciting experience, too. The Green Roadshow is based around the Croissant Neuf Circus.

Luke Jugglestruck
Through the use of highly skilled juggling and diabolic routines, Mr. Jugglestruck demonstrates the dangers of nuclear power and radioactivity, then explains the benefits of safe and renewable energy sources. Chuck Lee's Environmental Extravaganza
Through an environmental journey of pantomime proportions, Chuck and his friends deliver comedy, magic and spectacular skills whilst highlighting pollution solutions like 'Ozone' the hottest new dance band. This madcap misadventure into the world of global warming is a 'seriously funny' educational show.
