GW Talk @ PerkinElmer Scientific Pte Ltd (Oct)

Mr Calvin Bay, an Environment Health and Safety staff in PerkinElmer Scientific (Singapore) Pte Ltd invited Earth Society to conduct a talk for their staffs on 11 Oct 2024. This is the second time PerkinElmer invited us to talk to their staffs.

On 11 Oct, Earth Society team reached PerkinElmer company auditorium at 1.30 pm. We conducted a Global Warming talk for 120 staffs from 1.45 pm to 2.45 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).

After the talk, the staffs actively participated in an Environmental Quiz based on the talk. The first 5 participants that answered 5 MCQ questions correctly will win a prize from the company.

It was a mind-blowing talk to us regarding Climate change. Hopefully one day I could be a vegan to help the world. Thank you.   – Aisswarya, Technician.

We are glad that more companies in Singapore are organizing Eco-activities for their staffs to spread environmental awareness and encourage a sustainable way of living. May the Eco-messages spread far and wide in Singapore.
