SP Climate Change Awareness Conference

With the Copenhagen 2009 Talks still ongoing and the promises to be made to the many policies of nations for the next 50 years, we in SP Environment Club, really do wonder about the awareness level of climate change within SP itself. So, we are having our very first inaugural SP Climate Change Awareness Conference. In this conference, we would brainstorm on different kinds of methods to promote the urgency of climate change as a global threat and the need to carry out actions to slow it down. This is definitely not an event to be missed!

Spread the L-O-V-E

Season Greetings, everyone

Welfare Club and SP BP Mentoring Club are working with South West CDC on a Christmas Project this December holidays and they have kindly invited our club to join them for this special and meaningful event.

South West CDC are in need of students to visit the selected elderlys. These are elderlys who live in rental flats, either living alone or on financial assistance scheme.

The main purpose of going there is to spread the Christmas mood and bring some foodpacks to them (eg rice, milo, etc). And at the same time, conduct a survey with them. SW CDC does the survey once a year so that they know the living conditions of these elderly and whether they have been cared for.

SW CDC will arrange for the food packs to be delivered to the nearest RC. We pick them up and proceed to the addresses given.

The details are as the following :

Date: 23rd December 2009
Time: 12pm - 4pm
Venue: West coast CC -opposite West Coast plaza (165 households)
*there is also a free shuttle bus from clementi mrt station to West Coast
Attire: SP white top. If not, black SP top or plain white top will be fine.
Please email name, handphone number, admin number and email to Keshia @ su-keshia@hotmail.com if you are interested.

You are strongly encouraged to bring your friends along to spread the season of LOVE.

The more, the merrier!

And of course, CCA points will be provided.

Seal the Deal at Copenhagen (Sign up)

Seal the Deal at Copenhagen

The UN-led Seal the Deal Campaign aims to galvanize political will and public support for reaching a comprehensive global climate agreement in Copenhagen in December.

Climate change affects us all. Nine out of every ten disasters recorded are now climate related. Rising temperatures and more frequent floods, droughts and storms affect millions of people’s lives. This is set against a backdrop of financial and food insecurity.

On December 7, governments will gather in Copenhagen, Denmark to respond to one of the greatest challenges facing humanity. The main question will be how protect the planet and create a green economy that will lead to long-term prosperity

Reaching a deal by the time the meeting ends on December 18 will depend not only on complex political negotiations, but also on public pressure from around the globe.

The United Nations has launched “Seal the Deal” campaign that encourages users to sign an online, global petition which will be presented by civil society to governments of the world.

The petition will serve as a reminder that our leaders must negotiate a fair, balanced and effective agreement in Copenhagen, and that they must seal a deal to power green growth, protect our planet and build a more sustainable, prosperous global economy that will benefit all nations and people

THERE IS NO TIME TO WASTE: STAMP YOUR VOTE AND SEAL THE DEAL!

SP Environment Club will be having a roadshow on 2 December 2009 (Wednesday) outside the Main Library from 11am to 5pm. Do come on down to show your support and have the world leaders hear your voice!

For more information, please go to http://sealthedeal2009.org/.
