ISY and the Environment
Human induced climate change and environmental degradation are the greatest existential threats facing life on our planet. As such, ISY is committed to reducing our negative environmental impacts as much as possible and in doing so strive to become a force of positive change.
We are committed to reducing the impact our events have on the environment. To become a truly sustainable community we need our communities help too.
