Nadya Hutagalung - Supermodel, celebrity and eco-activist
|
Nadya’s green roots run deep – from young, her mother shared with her stories about rescuing stolen orang utans from an Indonesian zoo and taught her the meaning of living sustainably. These influences sparked in Nadya a lifelong love for nature and animals as well as a mindset of appreciating the Earth and giving back. Most recently, Nadya made headlines for her signature eco-home on the aptly named Greenwood neighbourhood, a project three years in the making. Also in the limelight is GreenKampong.com. It was first started to track the progress and challenges of building her home, but quickly evolved into a forum for similar-minded people and the issues that matter to them. Nadya has also been Singapore's Ambassador for the World Wildlife Fund's Earth Hour for the last five years and currently sits on the board of The Green School, which just won the Greenest School on Earth title awarded by the US Green Building Council. For her talents and accomplishments, Nadya has been voted one of Singapore's Top 20 most influential people by CNN and one of Asia's Leading Trendmakers by Asia Week magazine, alongside the Dalai Lama, Michelle Yeoh and Chow Yun Fatt. |
