Feedback from Teachers:

Thank you so much for such an informative assembly talk. My pupils and teachers have learnt a lot from your presentation and some were even motivated to join the Thursday No Meat Day. We were brought so much closer to reality when you presented the factual data on some of the environmental issues that we faced. 

We'd also like to thank you for extending the learning to their recess time and for showing them relevant videos at the canteen, as well as the CD that you have given us.

On 14 and 15 Mar, Earth Society members set up and manned a booth at NTU LT1A Canopy K from 9.30 am to 5.30 pm. At our booth, students watched a 2 mins video clip on “How Global Warming is affecting the world?”.

At the end of the event, many students showed interest in the ways to reduce global warming and signed up in our email list to receive more information on environmental protection.
