Booth @ Global Youth Summit (Jun)

Ms Deepa, from Hemispheres Foundation, invited Earth Society to set up a booth at their Global Youth Summit/ GYS Green Village” event held at National Library Plaza  from 28 Jun to 01 Jul.

The Global Youth Summit (GYS) 2018 is a youth-led global platform on sustainable development with the participation of more than 300 registered delegates in the Asia Pacific region. The event is organized by Hemispheres Foundation and supported by the Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources, National Library Board, National Environment Agency and Youth Groups.

GYS Green Village is an initiative under the GYS, with the aim of educating youth and the public about the negative environmental impacts on society and the steps that individuals can take to improve the situation.

Earth Society volunteers set up and man a booth at GYS Green Village during the 4-day event. We also conducted 2 Global Warming talks at the event.

  

At our booth, we let the participants play a ‘GHG and Water usage’ Quiz. Participants learnt about the amount of Green House Gas (GHG) emitted to produce certain type of food as they completed the Quiz. They also learn about the amount of water needed to produce different types of food.

We distributed Eco-website flyer and Climate Change booklet to interested participants at our booth. Many participants showed interest in ways to reduce global warming and signed up in our email list to receive more information on environmental protection.
