Booth @ Central Clean and Green Singapore (Nov)

Mr Osborne Chan, Senior Executive (3P Partnership), in National Environment Agency (NEA), invited Earth Society to participate in their Central Clean and Green Singapore Carnival in Nov.

The Carnival was jointly organized by NEA and Central Singapore Community Development Council (CS CDC). This district-level carnival aims to educate the public on environmental issues such as anti-littering, energy efficiency, 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) and Climate action.

The Carnival was a 2 day event (17 to 18 Nov) held at a covered plaza at Bishan Street. There were Exhibition panels, hands-on workshops, educational booths, stage performances/ talks at the event. Ms Denise Phua, Mayor, Central Singapore District was the Guest of Honour for the event. 

Earth society supported the event by setting up an educational booth at the event. Other organizations that participated in the event included: Embrace the Waste, Plastic-Lite SG, LepakinSg, Zero Waste and various primary school groups.

On 17 Nov, Earth Society volunteers set up a booth at the Clean and Green Carnival at 9.30 am. 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. Mr Osborne Chan was pleasantly surprised by our Quiz as one of the NEA Display panel at the event showed the answers to our Quiz. 

We manned the booth from 9.30 am to 5 pm.

NEA organized many programs on the stage area throughout the 2-day event. There were Environmental skits, Acapella singing, Environmental talks and Quizzes on the stage. Earth Society conducted 2 Global Warming talks at the stage. We presented on the effects of Global Warming on the planet and recommend ways to reduce Climate change (Eat less meat, Green energy and 3Rs).

We are glad that NEA and CDC are organizing more carnivals to promote Eco-living this year. We hope these carnivals will encourage Singaporeans to take more Climate Actions to protect the Earth and conserve the food and water resources on the planet.
