Nadya’s Valentine Challenge

Earth Hour Ambassador Nadya Hutagalung
WWF’s Official Earth Hour Celebrity Ambassador Nadya Hutagalung takes on a Valentine’s Day challenge close to her heart! The 37-year-old former model and iconic face of MTV Asia is an active champion of Earth Hour. Joining her for the challenge is her husband, ex-national swimmer Desmond Koh, to take on meaningful initiatives to reduce their carbon footprint.

Nadya has pledged to cycle to the Earth Hour event at Orchard Road on 31 March if Desmond can get 6 of his friends to go vegetarian for a month. Similarly, Desmond will cycle to the event if 60 of Nadya’s Twitter followers go vegetarian for a month.

Think you can outdo Nadya? Post your challenge!
Take on your own I Will If You Will challenge. Post your challenge on our Facebook page and inspire others!

    Albeit a tad bit after the horse has bolted, I have ceased delaying any further and will now be doing my bit to reduce a weighty carbon footprint! I’m on it!

    Thank you very much Desmond… i have exceeded the 30 days (since 19Feb) but have only had 6 meals with meat… i have realised that i might be allergic to some meats!
    So, i plan to go cautious with meats: i’ll do at least 4 days of vege per week and with 3 days of meats, i’ll test 1 type of meat per week, to find out which meat i am sensitive to… initial suspects after having 1 chicken rice meal… is chicken. i used to blame my allergies on MSG, but anyway, i will find out more.
    Thank you again, for improving my health, errrrmmm or reducing my discomfort!
