Zoe Belinda with the University of Montana's Office of Sustainability held a small gong, which she would softly hit if speakers at the office's first "Sustainability Slam" event Wednesday night went over their allotted two minute speaking time.

Nearly 20 speakers took to the stage set up in the Davidson Honors College Patio to speak on what sustainability means to them in poems, explainers and personal stories — from ways to "slay" sustainability through thrifting to the benefits of hemp.

Office Director Eva Rocke said she wanted the night to be an opportunity for community for people who work in the sustainability world. Rocke said outside of achieving sustainability goals, "human relationships are the main reason to do any of this."
