On 23-24 March 2015, Earthlink NTU will be holding its annual flagship event, Greenfest. The event will run from 9.30am to 5.30pm on both days, and will be located at the Nanyang Auditorium foyer. This year, the theme for Greenfest will be Synergy , emphasizing the importance of individuals taking action and these actions developing synergy, leading to a significant overall impact. Greenfest is held in support of the Youth Environment Day (YED).
For Greenfest 2015 Synergy , many organizations will be setting up booths to show their support for the preservation of our environment. These include environmental organizations such as The Dorsal Effect and The Pangolin Story as well as companies and institutes including Toshiba, GDF Suez and the Energy Research Institute @ NTU (ERI@N). NTU s very own Earthlink will also be setting up a few booths, so do come down and support!
The opening ceremony of Greenfest 2015 will serve as a platform for the launch of the Powerz mobile application ( app ). The app will be a key instrument in a real-life experiment which involves getting NTU staff and students to make a common effort to make NTU a more energy efficient place, all while having fun. This project involves the collaboration of the Energy Research Institute @ NTU (ERI@N), GDF Suez and Earthlink NTU. By collaborating on such a project, Earthlink NTU is making progress in its support of NTU s Eco-Campus initiative. The Initiative involves reducing the energy and water consumption, and waste production of NTU by 35% by year 2020.
While Greenfest 2015 is mainly targeted at NTU staff, students and alumni, all environmental enthusiasts in Singapore are welcome. As a signal of appreciation to participants for attending Greenfest 2015, there will be a lucky draw with many attractive prizes to be won.
This year, we are pleased to have as our Guest of Honour Dr Vivian Balakhrisnan, the Singapore Minister for Environment and Water Resources. With regards to his ministerial role, Dr Balakhrisnan is a key figure for the preservation and protection of Singapore s natural environment and we are honoured that he has agreed to attend Greenfest 2015.
Greenfest 2015 is held in support of Singapore s National Environment Agency, with numerous generous sponsors backing the event including the City Developments Limited, Lee Foundation, Toshiba, Lakarol and Honsei.
