On 26 Mar, Earth Society team joined Mr Bernard (via Webex platform) at 9.45 am. We conducted a Biodiversity Loss talk for about 200 staffs from 10.20 am to 11 am. We presented on Overfishing, Deforestation, Climate change, Loss in Biodiversity and Factory farming. We featured WWF 2020 Living Planet Index report which shows that 68% of wildlife are lost from 1970s to 2016. We touched on issues such as reduce Fish consumption, reduce Factory farming, Veggie days and UNEP ‘Planetary Health Diet’. We also showed that if everyone on the planet consumes resources as Singaporeans do, we will need 3 planets to sustain our consumption habits. We need to reduce our consumption pattern to keep it within the limits of 1 planet.
Infineon Technologies staffs listened attentively to the talk and participated actively in the Quiz at the end of the talk.
Mr Apple Toh, Infineon Cares Committee member, email us the following comments after the event:
“On behalf of the Infineon
Cares Committee, we thank Earth Society very much for giving us the utmost
support to host this talk session on Environment conservation topics. It had
been a great impactful morning and the response we received was overwhelming.
50 mins into the session, we still have 197 participants with us.”
During this pandemic period, we are glad that more companies are organizing Green events online to promote Environmental awareness and encourage their staffs to adopt a more sustainable way of Living.
