The event includes a sustainability poster and tabling session (highlighting campus and community initiatives, accomplishments, and opportunities related to sustainability and living (and working) green, four interactive Green it Yourself (GIY) Centers (featuring topics of green cleaning, upcycling calendars, laminated posters and vinyl banners into products to keep your organized and on-the-go and extended shelf-life meals in a jar), clothing swap**, collection of non-perishable food items for The SHOP (ISU student food pantry), local food and local food ingredient eats and sustainability-themed giveaway items.
**If you did not donate items for the clothing swap and trade, you can still participate by bringing two non-perishable food items or a $2 donation for The SHOP student food pantry for each "swap".
Sustainapalooza will be preceded by a public lecture by Colin Khoury on Monday, February 28. The presentation of the 2015 Live Green Awards for Excellence in Sustainability and a public documentary, follow Sustainapalooza and conclude the 2017 Symposium on Sustainability.
