Clean & Green Carnival @ Serangoon (27 Oct)

National Environment Agency (NEA), South East Community Development Council (SE CDC), PUB and NParks jointly organized the Clean & Green Singapore (CGS) Carnival 2014.

This year, the CGS Carnival @ Serangoon was held in the open field between Braddell Heights CC and NEX Shopping Mall on 26 & 27 Oct.

On 27 Oct, Earth Society members attended the Clean and Green Carnival.  

The Carnival featured many exhibits which showcased environment themes such as Climate change, energy and water usage, food waste etc.

There was one exhibit which showed that Climate change is affecting Singapore through heavier rainfalls and flash floods. A graph shows that the Annual number of days that Singapore experience heavier rainfall has increased from an average of 6 days in the 1980s to 1990s to an average of 10 or more days in the 2000s to 2010s.

Many schools set up booths in the carnival to showcase the green practices that they adopted to help the environment. Environmental skits performed by actors from “The Voice” company informed the audience on ways to reduce wastage, use less energy and take actions to help the Earth.

Earth Society members visited the exhibits / booths and network with the schools and environment groups in the carnival. We had a wonderful time in the carnival and sincerely hope that the message of environmental protection would spread far and wide among the people in Singapore.
