The event began last Friday evening with a showing at Garstang High School of Al Gore's Academy Award-winning film An Inconvenient Truth.
The film, which presents audiences with scientific and strikingly visual evidence for the causes and likely effects of climate change, helped to set the tone of challenge for the following day's events at the Quaker Meeting House, Calder House Lane.
These opened with an informed and lively presentation by environmentalist Laurie Michaelis, whose main point was that climate change is happening and it is caused by human activity.
He said we can and should slow the rate of climate change significantly by changing the way we live, for instance by taking personal responsibility for the way we use energy in the ways we travel, the amount of waste we create, how we use energy at home and how we source our foods. A lively question-and-answer session followed.
Young cyclists arriving from local primary schools were then presented with "green footprint" pendants to display on their bikes and scooters.
The afternoon opened with a panel from the Energy-Saving Trust, Growing With Nature and the University of Central Lancashire fielding questions on such topics as local and individual power production, use of local produce, problems and solutions concerning domestic energy use, and the short-termism of politicians.
Rachel Rogers presented a cash prize to 14-year-old Rebecca Hodgson of Garstang High School, winner of the art competition with the theme 'Steps to a Greener World'. The other 15 shortlisted entries were on exhibition.
A talk on 'Sacred Cows' - the economic consequences of consuming differently was given by John Lunt, a retired businessman.
The event, which was supported by a variety of stalls offering information and advice, closed with a short "taster" Quaker Meeting for worship.
