Maribyrnong council is hosting its inaugural Living Future Expo which aims to inspire and empower individuals to embrace sustainable practices in their daily lives.
Council has organised the event to coincide with International Bike Day on June 3, and World Environment Day on June 5.
“With a focus on eco-conscious living and innovation, the Expo will showcase a range of council initiatives, community exhibits, workshops, and interactive experiences designed to educate and motivate attendees,” council said.
From eco-friendly transportation solutions to strategies on how to become more self-sufficient in your own backyard, council said the expo will feature an array of exhibitors.
Council said visitors can expect to learn about the climate emergency, air quality, electric vehicles, and nature and biodiversity.
Attendees will have the chance to participate in hands-on workshops, interactive demonstrations, and hear from sustainability experts about the practical actions that can be taken to make positive changes and combat the climate emergency.
Activities will include a discussion from home efficiency expert Tim Forcey on his new book, and a presentation from Safe Climate Australia’s David Spratt on the current climate emergency.
Mayor Cuc Lam is looking forward to learning new ways she can make a difference.
“Whether you are well-versed in environmentalism or taking your first steps toward a greener lifestyle, the Living Future Expo will inspire you to think outside the box,” she said.
“So mark your calendars for Sunday, June 2, and join us to celebrate the future of sustainability in Maribyrnong.”
The Living Future Expo is on June 2 at Footscray Community Arts Centre, from 10am-5pm.
