30 Days of Sustainability is an annual celebration and empowerment of the people-powered movement of sustainability and its natural role in our lives. By combining business, social, education and awareness programs, 30 Days of Sustainability aims to integrate sustainability into the values of everyday citizens by inspiring action. You've changed your light bulbs and wash in cold water, now what?

We are hoping to make 30 Days of Sustainability into a showcase of sustainability initiatives across the lower mainland - highlighting what people are doing to make our communities more resilient and livable. If you know of any programs or events that will be running between April 22 and May 21, we are looking to help promote projects that are making a difference, and add them to the 30 Days calendar. We also have an online form for submitting events for the calendar.
