– Tan Fangyi, PhD student at Asian School of the Environment and NTU’s Earth Observatory of Singapore
“We have finite resources on Earth. Finding ways to refurbish, reuse and recycle waste, and to use it over and over again, is very important and the key to sustainability.”
– Prof Madhavi Srinivasan, Executive Director of NTU’s Sustainability Office
“The choices we make today will determine our path to the future. It is crucial that each of us play a part by taking small steps. Each individual action, taken collectively as a community, has a significant impact on the environment.”
– Prof Ho Teck Hua, NTU President
“NTU is home to over 400 species of animals and two of them are critically endangered. By getting the NTU community to come for tree-planting events, we hope they will feel inspired to maintain the NTU campus for future generations of students.”
