Dear Earthlinkers,

GreeningNTU 2016 is around the corner and this time, we are going to introduce Green Monday to all the staffs and students in NTU! Did you know that meat consumption has also contributed to global warming? Therefore, we encourage students to go meatless on Mondays. Besides that, we also encourage students to practice other green acts on Mondays.

Start your week in a greener way and join us to learn more about playing a part in making NTU a greener campus!

Hope to see you there!

Lunar New Year is right around the corner, just like Earthlink NTU’s Nature Guiding Outreach Program. For the whole month of February, we will be having our EcoClick photo competition, so do submit your photos showcasing nature, biodiversity and green practices and stand a chance to win amazing prizes! Step beyond the Yunnan Garden campus and participate in our Horseshoe Crab Rescue and Research and International Coastal Cleanup Singapore for a unique experience.
In addition, we will be having our GreeningNTU campaign. Come over and learn about the concept Green Monday and some tips on waste reduction. For participants of SSS Case Challenge, do take note that the deadline for proposal submission is on 22nd February. The selection result for SSS Case Challenge will be released on 26th February.
*The details of each event will be posted in near future, so do follow Earthlink NTU on our website and social media pages for the latest updates.
*The dates of the events in calendar are as accurate as at 2nd February 2016.
