Our screening of Becoming Nature Positive on the 28th of July left us with an important reminder: a future where people and nature thrive depends on the choices we make today. 🌿🎬

The film invited us to look beyond simply reducing harm, to actively restoring ecosystems, protecting biodiversity, and making nature a central part of how we live, work, and grow.



Thank you to everyone who joined the conversation. May the ideas, questions, and hope we shared continue to inspire action towards a nature-positive future! 🔥

💡Did you know there's a working farm on top of a mall in Singapore? The CDL MicroFarm at Singapore Sustainability Academy is a 68 m² hydroponics setup helping Singapore hit its goal of growing 20% of our own food by 2035.

Since October 2025, it's produced 264+ kg of fresh fruits and veggies 🍅🥗 All produce were donated to community beneficiaries.

How many veggies can you name? 👀

Since 2017, we've quietly built something big atop City Square Mall: Singapore's first zero-energy, Green Mark Platinum academy. The receipts? Over 61,100 attendees, 1,630+ events and trainings, and 200+ partners on this journey with us.

But here's the fun part 👀 Can you spot all 3 in the pics: our edible green wall, the Gulam & CLT , and the solar panels☀️ powering it all? 🔋

💡 Have you wondered if its possible to make a net zero building without steel or concrete? Well, we made one! 🏗️

The Singapore Sustainability Academy is made entirely from wood 🪵! Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) stacks wooden boards in opposing layers for a super-strong panel, while Glulam glues timber pieces together in the same direction to form strong beams and columns. Wild, right? A whole building, held up by wood.

🙋‍♂️ In fact, SSA's rooftop solar system (45 kWp) generates more energy than it uses, meaning that SSA not only net-zero, its net-positive ✅

Come to City Square Mall Level 6 to see real sustainable solutions being implemented!
