NTU GreenFest 2018 (19 to 20 Mar)

Ms Tan Chai Wei, NTU Earthlink Events Executive Director, invited Earth Society to set up a booth during their NTU GreenFest event on 19 & 20 Mar. This is the 5^th year NTU Earthlink invited us to their event. Other organizations that participated in the event include MEWR, Nature Society, Food Bank, Tzu Ji Youth, NParks, PM Haze etc.

This year’s theme for Greenfest is “Eco-ProMise”, which comprises the words Eco, Protect and Mission. The theme reflects Earthlink’s wish for every individual to educate themselves on environmental issues and bear the responsibility of safeguarding our environment.

On 19 Mar, NTU Earthlink invited Associate Provost (Student Life) Professor Kwok Kian Woon to grace the opening ceremony for EarthFest. The opening ceremony was followed by a veggie lunch for the participating organizations and the volunteers at the event. 

On 19 and 20 Mar, Earth Society members set up and manned a booth at NTU LT1A Canopy K from 9 am to 5 pm. At our booth, students watched a 2 mins video clip on “How Global Warming is affecting the world?”. After watching the clip, they would answer 2 questions based on the video to get a stamp on their GreenFest card. When they have completed the activities in their GreenFest card, they can exchange the card for a token prize from NTU Earthlink.

At the end of the event, many students showed interest in the ways to reduce global warming and signed up in our email list to receive more information on environmental protection.
