Teachers’ Feedback: 

Thanks to Earth society for the highly interesting talk. It is very informative and the message is very important.     

– Mrs Liew, teacher, LYP.

Thank you so much for the sharing. It has indeed created more awareness to everyone on how we human actually create our own destruction. I will take part in the meat-out Thursday!        

 - Ms Sarah, teacher, LYP.

A well-paced and clear presentation. More dialogue (i.e. get the pupils to repeat key statements) will create bigger imprint on the mind of the young. The seeds of environmental protection are planted. – Science teacher, LYP.
