NTU GreenFest 2019 (19 Mar)

Mr Ong Han Yang, NTU Earthlink Events Executive subcommittee, invited Earth Society to set up a booth during their NTU GreenFest event on 19 & 20 Mar. This is the 6^th year NTU Earthlink invited us to their event. Other organizations that participated in the event include Nature Society, Food Bank, Tzu Ji Youth and PM Haze.

This year’s theme for Greenfest is “Towards A Zero-Waste Future”.

Building on last year’s theme of ‘Eco-ProMise’, where GreenFest participants made their promise to protect Mother Earth, Earthlink wanted to bring the NTU community along to fulfil this promise and start taking small actions towards a positive change that will bring NTU closer to the dream of Zero Waste.

On 19 Mar, NTU Earthlink invited Professor Kwok Kian Woon, Associate Provost of Student Life, 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 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 had completed the activities in their GreenFest card, they could 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.

This year, we could only participate in GreenFest on 19 Mar as we were engaged in another event on 20 Mar.
