On the Sunday the festival attendance seemed to triple in size.
Composting toilets were well-equipped with loads of sawdust and hand-sanitiser - and they didn't smell at all!
Rowville Community Centre has water-saving policies well-established. These aerators and the rainwater-fed toilet flushes are part of everyday life at the Centre.
We met the owner and designer of Knoxfield Sustainability House - a water- and energy-self-sufficient house in the suburbs of Melbourne! Hopefully we'll be invited to visit soon.
This awesome model demonstrated Waterways Conservation Practice in a way that made the relationship between urban design, residential behaviour and the natural environment really clear.
This giant transport and travel game had kids and adults alike queuing up to hop around in their socks.
Energy-producing bikes might have given these kids a taste for riding in a crowd - were they a "critical mass"? Not sure what they were powering but it looked like fun.
Knox Youth Services had an amazing project on display. They've been working with local youth and students to turn potential op-shop waste into fashion.
The stall was set up so that visitors could have a go at playing with the materials and talking to the design teacher about making their own garments - there were spare sewing machines, too.
A beautiful example of the student fashion designs made up from op-shop clothing.
There were several stalls selling vegie plants, seeds, native plants and fruit trees. Some were promoting the local botanic garden, others the community gardens. They stepped up to the waste-wise nature of the festival easily - check out this nifty seedling carrier made from an OJ bottle!
