Good morning everyone, I am the president of the Activists’ Club in Singapore and I am glad to share with you my thoughts today.
Think GREEN, that is our environment. We take our environment for granted! The state of Singapore’s environment is something we are all proud or : air quality is good, tap water is safe to drink , our waste is collected daily and disposed of properly and we enjoy a high standard of public health. But wait…..we need to seriously plan and act to conserve and protect our environment.
Although we have a Green Plan to protect habitats such as Pulau Hantu, Chek Jawa, Sungei Wetland etc. we need to do more to conserve whatever small area of natural land we have. Our waste is removed so efficiently that each person throws out 1.3kg of waste daily and our beach and mangroves are filled with litters. Sounds scary?
It is time to bailout both the people and the planet. Environmental stress has increased the risk of conflicts over resources and food and this demands our great attention. Issues such as global warming, melting of ice caps, flooding, carbon emissions are happening and we all can take actions against it. From replacing regular light bulbs with energy-efficient ones to reducing personal carbon emissions , we all can make a difference.
The conservation and improvement of our environment is a responsibility of ours. Everybody has a part to play, we must give the natural world a stronger voice. Everybody must make changes to protect the natural resources and ecosystems.
Young people like you, get out of your comfort zone, join our club. There are many ways you could contribute and get involved through activism and volunteering. It is a very fulfilling and enriching experience. So, make a difference today, invigorate our society with your zest and involvements. You will be amazed!
