Mr Chee Zheng Wei, Assistant Projects and Events Executive from SAFRA Jurong, invited Earth Society to set up a booth and conduct a talk at their Eco-fest event on 18 Mar and 19 Mar 2023.
On 18 Mar, Earth Society team reached SAFRA Jurong at 10.15 am. We set up a booth at their Eco-fest event. At our booth, participants may watch some video clips on Climate change. We also distributed Eco-website flyers, SMTV flyers and Climate Change booklets to participants of the event. We manned the booth from 10.30 am to 3 pm.
SAFRA Jurong also invited us to conduct a Global Warming talk for their participants from 12 pm to 12.40 pm. We presented on the effects of Climate change on the world and showcased various solutions that scientists recommended to curb climate change. (Plant trees, Eat less meat, Green energy and 3Rs). We touched on environmental issues such as the Global usage of food/ water resources and World Hunger. We also spoke about the Destruction of Forest Ecosystems, which will lead to increase interaction between wild animals and humans and may increase the risk of zoonotic diseases spreading from animals to humans (such as COVID-19).
SAFRA Jurong created a Kahoot Quiz for the talk. Participants of the talk can use their hand phone to join in the Quiz which has 10 questions based on the content of the Global Warming talk. Participants actively engaged in the Quiz and answered the questions readily. The top 3 participants who answered the most questions correctly win a prize from SAFRA.
On 19 Mar, Earth Society team supported the Eco-fest event from 10.30 am to 3 pm. We set up a booth and conduct a GW talk/ Quiz, similar to the previous day.
