Go Green SG 2025
In light of the recent weather, one propaganda that we’re willingly falling for is the idea that global warming is most definitely real. There’s only so much our trusty portable fans that shoot out wind with the roar of a jet engine can do before we melt into a puddle of our own perspiration.
But, learning how we can go about saving the planet and consequently, alleviating our heat-induced angst, doesn’t have to be a drag. Go Green SG 2025 is a government initiative that features a slew of fascinating, sustainability-centric activities, workshops, and tours. Here’s all you need to know about having some eco-friendly fun this June holidays.

What is Go Green SG 2025?
A quick recap on last year’s edition of Go Green SG.
Go Green SG is a movement led by the Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment to encourage the nation to adopt practices that lead towards a more environmentally sustainable Singapore.
Go Green SG 2025 gives participants opportunities to learn more about how they can become environmentally-conscious citizens through activities conducted by over 400 partnering organisations. This year, its various experiences will be conducted from 16th May to 29th June 2025.
What to expect from Go Green SG 2025?
As mentioned, there’ll be a ton of sustainability-related experiences that you can sign up for under the Go Green SG 2025 movement. They cater to participants of all ages, and a bunch of them are even free to sign up for. From behind-the-scenes looks at facilities not usually open to the public to kid-friendly craft workshops to get the little ones involved, here are just a few of the activities to sign up for.

Thanks to Go Green SG 2025, you’ll be able to get a firsthand look at facilities that contribute to building a green Singapore, such as the Sembcorp Tengeh Floating Solar Farm.

It’s a huge cluster of over 122,000 floating solar panels right next to the Tuas Checkpoint that produces enough electricity to power 16,000 4-room HDB flats annually. On the tour, you’ll get to see the solar panels for yourself via a boat ride, and also discover the biodiversity surrounding the 45-hectare wide farm.

Show some love for Singapore’s waters by putting away marine litter with the Eco Paddle with Ola experience. Organised by NEA and Ola Beach Club, participants will help to clean up Sentosa’s beautiful beaches and waterways by paddling out to sea in a kayak with a garbage bag to bin up ocean waste.
Afterwards, you’ll get the chance to flex your creative muscles in a hands-on upcycled art workshop to turn the junk you’ve fished out of the sea into a nice memento.
