Green Action Week 2019 is taking place from Monday September 30 to Sunday October 6.
Unsustainable consumption is a relatively new phenomenon, and all over the world communities are pushing back against it. When people collaborate and share goods and services, it benefits the community as well as the environment.
Green Action Week 2019 will showcase the new ideas, insight and innovations that are delivering impact and progress towards sustainable consumption and production.
