Have you ever wondered what everyday life could look like if it were reimagined to be more sustainable, creative, and community-driven?

Come along to the Sustainability Fest - a pop-up “sustainable town” showcasing mindful ways to approach daily activities with sustainable businesses and services! Discover eco-friendly products, interactive displays, inspiring stories, and yes… FREE FOOD!

💎 Join us for an exciting Scavenger Hunt that will lead you through a series of interactive stall challenges - designed to spark collaboration, creativity, and new ideas. Complete them to win sustainable prizes!

📸 And don’t miss our “Image-in-Action” paperless photobooth (hint: it’s part of the scavenger hunt!). Snap a photo with digital filters and costumes, and add your own sustainable pledge. With your permission, your photo will be featured on our Instagram story-show the world your commitment to a greener future!

About the organisers:

SMART Consumers is a student-led club based at the University of Melbourne with the ambition to bring the circular economy closer to students. We aim to encourage students to reduce their environmental footprint in daily life, while also introducing them to organisations that offer opportunities for volunteering and career development in the sustainability space.
