Online Biodiversity talk @ Shell (Jun)

Mr Danny Kumar, New Business Development Manager at Shell Eastern Petroleum Pte Ltd, invited Earth Society to conduct an online Biodiversity Loss Talk for their staffs on 10 Jun. This is the 2nd time Shell invited us to conduct a talk for their staffs.

On 10 Jun, Earth Society team joined Mr Danny (via MS Teams platform) at 10.45 am. We conducted a Biodiversity Loss talk for about 200 staffs from 11 am to 12 pm. 

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. 

Shell Pte Ltd staffs listened attentively to the talk and participated actively in the Q & A session after the talk.

Feedback from Shell Staffs:

-Thank you so much for this session! i learnt so many practical things i could do as an individual to be more eco-friendly.

-i thought the statistics that Earth Society shared were interesting & eye-opening though (even if I am somewhat aware of the general overview)

-I like the content of today's sharing - knowledgeable and relevant for us, with data and facts.

-Very insightful talk. The speaker is very knowledgeable and I am definitely influenced by his passion and enthusiasm!  Will definitely switch to less meat from now.

-I wish we had more time for such a relevant topic so we can learn more from Earth society... this has enlightened me and will definitely share with my colleagues, friends, and loved ones.
