The talk was very informative and gave the students a greater awareness about Climate change.   -  Mr Viknesh, Teacher, BNS

The talk was very interesting. I learnt many things that I’ve never knew before such as the Arctic may be ice-free by 2015-2016.

I enjoyed the talk. I have learnt the importance of saving the Earth and that not eating too much meat will help as well. I am more aware of Global Warming now.   – Zhou Xiao Fei, Sec 3, BNS

The talk was really effective. I learn about how much normal students like have when 1 billion people out there don’t even have enough food to eat. With the video, it helps us to understand better. – Nugessur Sweta Shang, Sec 4, BNS
