Greenfest 2017

On 20th and 21st of March, Earthlink NTU’s flagship event, Greenfest 2017: RevAmpS (sponsored by City Developments Limited, Hewlett-Packard, Earth Observatory of Singapore, and PacificLight), was held. This massive event was organized by our Events Executive Internal portfolio in support of Sustainable Singapore Blueprint. The environmental event was filled with fun and excitement! The event was held on Canopy K with amazing performances such as NTU Chinese Drums and NTU Hall 13 Band!
Not only fun, after visiting several booths, you’ll get a cute cactus, a goodie bag, and a lucky draw ticket! You can win many prizes such as a HP printer, an Under Armour Backpack, and even a HP Laptop! And of course, to align with Greenfest 2017 theme, the booths also provide useful information for all of us to revive our environment, amplify our environmental efforts, and sustaining the environment.
The booths are categorized into three categories: 
1. Revive booths, which include booths from the Vegetarian Society, Earth Society, Singapore Environment Council, Nature Society Singapore, People’s Movement to Stop Haze, Tetra Pak, and ERI@N! The main goal of the revive booths is to highlight the necessity to revive our damaged earth by understanding what causes the damage, and how can we change it. Furthermore, the ERI@N provided FREE ice cream that was accompanied by the launch of a wonderful app, PowerZee! PowerZee is an environmental app designed by ENGIE Lab Crigen to help us make positive changes to the environment. Find out more about PowerZee here (http://ecocampus.ntu.edu.sg/Pages/PowerZee.aspx)!
2. Amplify booths consisting of booths from Earthlink’s various portfolios; Events Executive (Overseas), Nature Guiding, Campaign Management, Recycling and Education. Even if we know how to sustain and revive our earth, all that knowledge is useless unless we amplify our environmental efforts to save the earth. The purpose of the amplify booths is to remind all of us of that fact to spread our knowledge to more people so that.
3. Sustain booths which consists of booths from Public Utilities Board, National Environment Agency, Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources, Hewlett-Packard, and Earth Observatory Singapore. Industrial companies came together and reminded us that we need to sustain the efforts developed by other parties as well in order to make a positive impact to the environment.
During a speech delivered by our Guest of Honour, Dr. Amy Khor at the opening she mentioned, “Even a simple action would have a positive impact on the environment”. We do not have to wait for a call to action for us to start doing something. “If I change, the world changes”. Join us in making the earth a better place to live for everyone! So, what are you waiting for? Let’s ‘RevAmpS’ our habits and actions as we step towards a brighter and greener future!
