Be inspired by thought-provoking panel discussions exploring plastic and single-use waste, data centres, everyday sustainability and the future of upcycled fashion. Plus, a live cooking zero waste challenge and a kids’ show. Also featuring Costa Georgiadis, celebrating the Melbourne launch of his new book, Costa’s Garden: Fruit.

Bring along your broken things to the Repair Cafe, learn new skills at the Mending Circle, and browse the Clothes, Fabric and Book Swaps, plus hands-on DIY activities.
