The main objective of the festival, which will be held over a three-day period, is to change the public’s mindset to embrace initiatives that would save the environment from completely depleting its resources from human activities. The Sustainable Living Festival concept seeks to establish a central platform to share ideas on the various tested methods of sustainable living from making use of renewable energy in households, recycling, water-wise and toxin free gardening to biodynamic and organic agriculture.
Schools in the region will also participate in a number of inter-school events, such as a debating competition, a recycled fashion show, an entrepreneurial competition and a music festival amongst many more exciting and relevant activities.
