Climate Conversations Team invited Earth Society members to attend
a Conversation on Climate Change on 26 Feb. The Conversation was held @ A Good
Space (NVPC, Clark Quay Central).
Our members get to know of the Climate Conversations Team from
their Booth at EarthFest in Jan 2019. The CC Team had conducted 60 climate conversations,
reaching out to hundreds of people to discuss on Climate change and the role we
can play to reduce climate change.
On 26 Feb, Mr Low attended the Climate Conversation from 7 pm to
9.30 pm. About 30 persons attended the Conversation. We broke into 3 groups of
10. Each group was guided by a facilitator to discuss on Climate change.
Ms Ang was the facilitator in the group that Mr Low joined. Ms Ang
showed the group an introduction video on Climate change The 12 mins video showed
us how climate change is affecting the world (e.g. more droughts, stronger
storms, Arctic ice melts etc). We discussed about the effects of climate change
and what we can do to reduce climate change. Some solutions discussed in the
group included changing to green energy (solar etc), reduce driving, eating
less meat.
Ms Ang informed that if we can get 16% of the Singapore population
to discuss on Climate change, it will gradually grow to a nation-wide movement
to increase awareness on the topic and encourage people to take actions to curb
climate change.
The discussion ended with Ms Ang showing us a 10 mins video on the
solutions to reduce climate change.
We are glad that there are NGO organizations such as Climate Conversations
that are reaching out to the public and companies to engage them in Conversations
on Climate change.
