Green For Growth 2026: Seeds for Change
EarthLink NTU’s annual sustainability flagship event is back, and it’s bigger than ever. Running from January to February, the first phase, “Seeds for Change,” invites the NTU community to spark meaningful environmental action from the ground up. Inspired by EarthLink’s L.I.V.E philosophy of Leading change through Innovation, Volunteerism, and Education, this phase is all about turning curiosity into action. Through hands-on workshops, exclusive behind-the-scenes tours, and exciting new initiatives, you will learn from nature, try something new, and discover how small individual actions can grow into real, lasting impact for a more sustainable campus.
Below are eight of our GFG Phase 1 events that we would like to promote.
