The 2019 Ecofest theme was 'Slim your bin with a low waste diet’ and coincided with World Environment Day with its 2019 theme being “Beat Plastic Pollution”. With approximately 6202 people in attendance (exceeding 2018's attendance figures), it is safe to say Ecofest is continuing to be CQ's largest free environmental event. 

Creative Recycling Centre had another big year, providing 3 different activities for the day;
- Ugly Mug Stand
- Children's pledge of Hope for World Environment Day
- Recycled Instruments

A HUGE thank you to our amazing 19 volunteers and management committee members that assisted in the lead up to the event and on the day!

Ugly Mug Stand

Our Ugly Mugs took a stand against single use coffee cups at this years Ecofest. 
Ecofest participants were encouraged to grab an ugly mug before filling up on their morning coffee.
Mugs could be used and returned free of charged or users could purchase the mug for a gold coin donation.
The Savour the Flavour coffee van offered $1 off every coffee that used a mug instead of a single use cup on the day.

​Children's pledge of Hope for World Environment Day

Leading on from our pledges of hope project rolled out in local schools, the community were invited to make their own personal pledges on recycled flags to be hung around the Toondoon Garden grounds. 
People pledged to reduce their waste by reducing their plastic consumption and recycling efforts. This was perfectly related to this years Ecofest theme of 'Slim your bin with a low waste diet'

Recycled Musical Instruments

Our instruments were again, a HIT!
Children and adults of all ages explored their creative musical talents throughout the day at Ecofest. 
Jam sessions. laughter and loud sounds could be heard throughout the gardens as families and friends enjoyed our recycled instruments.
