Edu-Trip - Nuvali's Greenstallations




I’ve been seeing a billboard along SLEX about a Green and Sustainable Exhibit at Nuvali. As a sustainability fan (and also a frustrated Nuvali homeowner… I'd live to live there) , I made arrangements for the family to go.

The exhibit is located at EvoLiving, Nuvali’s sales building. I was a bit puzzled at this because the location is far from the Solenad area, where foot traffic was better. Upon seeing the exhibit, I saw that it was more of an info-installation / marketing exhibit of the sustainability features of the Nuvali community. It was interesting nonetheless. If you are not really a green/ sustainability aficionado – though I think everyone should be – it might not be worth the trip. The exhibit runs up to Sept 1, 2013. We didn't catch any of the Green activities , those might be interesting too.

The exhibit (I assumed curated by the Ayala Museum, since their logo is included in the poster) featured outdoor artwork, some recycled art, and interactive exhibits that teaches about greener lifestyles and community engagement. We were not able to check out the outdoor sculptures because of (1) the rain, (2) they’re a bit spread out and you wouldn’t know where to go.I saw a blog with more photos, though!Check it out at http://www.kumagcow.com/2013/08/nuvalis-greenstallations.html.

The interactive exhibits inside were really nicely done, and one can see the time and effort put into it. It highlighted the importance of recycling, waste segregation, energy / water / resource conservation. It’s a good introduction towards green living. 

Starting him young. My son Tonyo learns how it's good to be green :)
