Join us for an evening celebrating all things sustainability at ISU. Food, connections, clothing swap and greening!

Sponsored by the Office of Sustainability, as a companion event to the Symposium on Sustainability, Sustainapalooza features education, engagement and empowerment opportunities related to finding sustainability connection both individually and collectively - on and off-campus. With the theme, "The Urgency is NOW", this year's celebration focuses on reminding us that now is the time to educate and empower ourselves to take action toward ensuring a just, healthy and sustainable future. Included in this event are: Green it Yourself (GIY) Centers - offering something to do and something to take; campus and community sustainability-themed tabling displays; local food refreshments; and greener living giveaways.

In addition, take part in a clothing swap and trade! Drop off donated items in collection boxes around campus or bring them to the event!! Swapping without donating is also possible by bringing two non-perishable food items or a $2 donation (to provide credit for one "swap" - multiple donations can be made for multiple "swaps" - SPECIAL DEAL!! 3 swaps for $5!!). All donations support The SHOP, ISU's food pantry. Hundreds of clothing items (men, women and kids) await you!! All non-swapped clothing will be donated to community organizations serving those in need.
