Having a Sustainable SWOTVAC

Love all things sustainable? Then these events are for you!

In the lead up to World Environment Day (June 5), this SWOTVAC is dedicated to promoting the environmental, social, and personal physical and mental health benefits of enjoying and restoring nature. Whilst caring for the planet, we also nurture ourselves, supporting the synergetic relationship between the overall health of people and the environment.

Head to UQ Sustainbility for heaps of sustainability related events happening throughout the year!
