Bishan North Zone RC Earth Hour event (Mar)

Mr Tan Hoe Sing, Chairman of Bishan North Zone 1 RC, invited Earth Society to participate in their “One Earth, Save it” Earth Hour event on 27 Mar.

Due to the pandemic situation, the “One Earth, Save it” event was held online via the Zoom platform. The event was hosted by 2 volunteers wearing the WWF Earth hour logo. Marymount residents were invited to join the event online from 8 pm to 9.15 pm.

Mdm Gan Siow Huang, Minister of State in both Ministry of Education and Ministry of Manpower, MP for Marymount SMC, gave an opening address entitled ‘Speak up for Nature’ during the Zoom event.

Earth Society conducted a 5 mins presentation on Global Warming during the event. We gave a brief overview of how Climate change is affecting the world and encourage our citizen to reduce meat consumption, support Meatless Mondays to reduce Climate change.

Marymount residents shared on their Eco-efforts such as conducting up-cycling workshops, supporting NEA’s ‘Cash for Trash’ program, recycling electronic waste and collecting recyclables (e.g. plastic bottles, cardboards etc).

Music Heart Band group provided online live singing to entertain the residents. Children from PCF Sparkletots provided online performance for the residents.

After the event, Mr Tan Hoe Sing requested Earth Society to record a 15 min video presentation on Global Warming. The video was placed in 'Bishan North Zone 1' Facebook page to provide more info for the residents:

We are glad that more grass roots organizations are organizing Green events online to spread the Eco-message to the residents. We hope the green message can spread far and wide among the residents in Singapore.
