The Sustainability Festival was really fun! We got to present twice, run our own activities and participate in many others. The best thing we did was definitely the Fish Friendly Painting. We got to paint a Rakali (a rat-like Rodent). All the paints were made from food (turmeric, eggs, baking powder and cocoa powder). It all got really messy. –
