Want to do your part for the environment but don’t know where to start?

Now in its third year, and the first festival of its kind, Green Is The New Black (GITNB) : The Conscious Festival is a “conscious” festival for people who want to improve the way they think, work and consume while doing more good in the world. Put simply, this is the place where fun meets social environmental responsibility.

At the two-day event, visitors can shop at the Mindful Marketplace and take part in a clothes swap. For example, shoppers can buy men’s shirts from Comfee, a family-run clothing factory in Singapore that uses only bamboo fabric, and from Threadapeutic, an upcycling fashion social enterprise from Jakarta, where the products are made from raw, leftover materials from the garment industry’s fabric wastes.

GITNB will also show participants how they can practice conscious eating and consumption – for example, gluten-free craft beers is touted to be a healthier and more ethical alternative to regular beer.

There will also be talks by experts on how participants can be more eco-conscious.

Entry to the festival is free and open to public!
