"Disruption" Movie Screening and Discussion ( 27 Sep )

“350 Singapore” from Young NTUC organized an Eco-movie screening and discussion event at NTUC center (One Marina Boulevard) on 27 Sep.

Earth Society members participated in the event from 3pm to 5.30 pm.

The movie screened was “Disruption". It is a film which shows the devastating consequences of climate change if we do nothing to counter it. It also gives us an inside look into how passionate individuals from diverse groups such as environmental groups, trade unions, faith groups and social groups got together to drum up grassroots support for what is normally a distant issue for the layperson.

The movie is available for view on the website :

After watching the movie, a volunteer from “350 Singapore” led the participants to discuss on the topics covered in the movie. Some participants commented that the movie helped to raise awareness about climate change but did not offer a solution to it. Participants discussed on ways to reduce carbon food print such as buying more local produce (verses imported produce), supporting solar technology and reducing meat consumption.

After a fruitful discussion, the event ended at 5.30pm.
