Students’ Feedback

I learnt that climate change is a very prevalent issue that we are facing right now and we should do our best to save Mother Earth. I learnt that we should reduce our consumption of water and food as the amount of food and water we waste is shocking. I will join the meatless Monday campaign and encourage my friends and family to participate in it.   – Xin Yu, Sec 4

We can make a difference in terms of reducing the impact of climate change by changing our diet, following Our Healthy Plate and assign the different types of foods accordingly. I will try to avoid eating beef since the growing of beef will use a lot of water and give out a lot of carbon dioxide. – Gan Xing Hui, Sec 3

I have learnt that we need to use a lot of water to get our food, especially meats like beef requires high amounts of water. I also learnt what are the consequences of climate change on the planet. I can reduce eating meat and switch to alternatives such as plant-based meat.  – Nishita, Sec 3
