The talk is very informative and let the students know about the causes and impact of Climate change. The presentation also shared about recent events that are happening around the world. Suggestions are given to students and see whether they can take it up based on their comfort level. - Mdm Cheong Wei Leng, Geography, Senior Teacher.

Very informative and engaging talk on the impact of Climate change, updated with recent events experienced. That added relevance to the sharing that we can associate with. Great actionable advice on individual level for us to take up depending on comfort level.  – Chen Zhan Jiang, Innovation, ST.

Students’ Feedback

I learnt that climate change is a very prevalent issue that we are facing right now and we should do our best to save Mother Earth. I learnt that we should reduce our consumption of water and food as the amount of food and water we waste is shocking. I will join the Meatless Monday campaign and encourage my friends and family to participate in it.   – Xin Yu, Sec 4

We can make a difference in terms of reducing the impact of climate change by changing our diet, following Our Healthy Plate and assign the different types of foods accordingly. I will try to avoid eating beef since the growing of beef will use a lot of water and give out a lot of carbon dioxide. - Gan Xing Hui, Sec 3

I have learnt that we need to use a lot of water to get our food, especially meats like beef requires high amounts of water. I also learnt what are the consequences of climate change on the planet. I can reduce eating meat and switch to alternatives such as plant-based meat.  – Nishita, Sec 3

Online Water Conservation talk @ Pasir Ris Crest Secondary (Apr)

Ms Lilian Teo, Subject Head (Biology) from Pasir Ris Crest Secondary, invited Earth Society to conduct an online Water Conservation talk for their Sec 1 students on 18 Apr. The online talk was part of a series of activities the school engaged in to commemorate Earth Day.  

On 18 Apr, Earth Society joined in the online Zoom meeting at 12 pm. We conducted a Water Conservation talk for the Sec 1 students from 12.15 pm to 12.55 pm.

We also showed Global water shortage, and shared PUB’s 5 tips to save 140 litres of water at Home.

We also shared that the bulk of a person’s daily water usage is embedded in the food we eat. United Nations shows that a person drinks 2 to 4 litres of water a day, uses about 150 litres of water at home a day, but ‘eats’ 2000 to 5000 litres of water a day. (embedded in the food that we eat.) It takes 200 litres of water to produce 1 kg of veggies, but 15,400 litres of water to produce 1 kg of Beef. By reducing meat consumption, we can save 1000 litres of water a day. By supporting 1 meatless day, we can save 1600 litres of water that day.(equivalent to saving 10 days of water usage at home.)

Students and Teachers listened attentively to the talk.

1. Better than expected, because the speaker has a lot of interesting facts. Feel more motivated to eat vegan food

2. Quite informative, didn’t know there was an Happy Cow app for Veg food.

3. Amazing talk, learnt a lot. Now I’m more AWARE of the types of food I consume. Looking forward to more of such events! :)

4. Thanks for the sharing, it was very informative. Really enjoyed the infographics of various degrees of harm to the planet, and about which
vegetables are high in protein.

5. Food was amazing and I loved the facts and statistics regarding the
current context. Numbers help get a sense of how critical the situation is.

6. The talk is very educational. It is far from boring, since there were a lot of interactions happening. This also help
further raise awareness on a topic which is widely known. I have
learnt a lot from it, like rearing cattles/cows produce massive amount
of CO2 and greenhouse gas, and there are a lot of wastages when
raising them. Overall, it is an enriching and educational experience.

The following is an extract from the website:

A 2010 Canadian Study warns of a livestock greenhouse gas boom where soaring international production of livestock could, by 2050, release enough carbon into the atmosphere to single-handedly exceed safe levels of climate change: the livestock sector's emissions alone, if continuing on the current demand, supply trajectory, could send temperatures above the 2 degrees Celsius rise optimistically said to be the threshold above which climate change will be dangerously destabilising

2. Eco-Instagram Page.

The students created an Instagram page to promote Meatless Days

Ecoglobe_sg Instagram Page: https://www.instagram.com/ecoglobe_sg/

The Instagram Page has News Report, youtube videos and Team members view on Meatless days etc.

At the end of the project, Angel Li, Ecoglobe_sg team leader wrote:

“We are grateful to be able to have this opportunity to work with Earth Society who taught us many new things about the environment and how consuming meat- free meals can have a significant impact on climate change. We would also like to thank you for providing us with all the necessary information needed for our project and also taking the time to educate us.”

We are glad that the schools have Environmental modules which requires the students to take on projects to protect the environment. We hope the environment movement would spread among the youths to create a sustainable world for all to live in.
