Sponsored by the Office of Sustainability, Sustainapalooza features education, engagement and empowerment opportunities related to how students, faculty and staff can take small actions every day toward a sustainable tomorrow. 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; sustainability-minded artwork, music by 88.5 KURE, local food refreshments; and greener living giveaways.

This year's GIY opportunities include - Mason Jar terrariums, essential oil green cleaners, upcycling t-shirts into reusable bags, plant hangers and pet tug toys, and creating mini-first aid kits for donation to campus and community members in need.

In addition... a clothing swap! Drop off donated items in collection boxes around campus or bring them to the event!! Participate without donating 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 will be provided to support The SHOP, ISU's food pantry. Unswapped clothing will be donated to community organizations for distribution.
