Sustainable. Ethical.
Responsible.
Trierra Festival is an annual event designed to connect the conscious consumer with a range of responsible brands, educational workshops, and lifestyle activations all in the spirit of doing better for the earth.
While the most obvious thing we can do for our planet is to consume less that’s simply not always feasible.
It’s human nature to consume, give and receive. However, we can choose to consume less, more mindfully and from businesses that are proactively ‘doing better’ and embracing sustainable initiatives.
This Earth Day, we want to unite as a community. To learn from others, engage in workshops and connect with likeminded people, while demonstrating our support for environmental protection.
The Earth Day movement
"Change starts with action. Better yet, an action that affects the world around you. A Billion Acts of Green are happening across the planet. From students in classrooms to organizers in their communities to officials in government there are ways for anyone of any background to make a difference. Start small and go big — or start big and stay big. Either way, keep coming back, keep taking action and join the movement to change the world."
