ANNOUNCEMENT

Hi all,

In conjuction with 10:10:10 global celebration of climate solutions, here we are coming up with new blog:
http://spenv.cca.sg/

All of any upcoming events, past event reports and even gardening updates (we have garden! Do you know that?) will be posted in the new blog. However, this old blog had always been our companion and grown up together with SP Environment Club. So, this blog won't be shut down and will always be your memorial for any previous events.

Thank you for your support and do stay tune with our activities in our latest blog. And please feel free to give any suggestions for us to improve.

Cheers!

Let's "Balik Kampung@Bottle Tree Park

“Enough protest marches, enough banners, enough websites. Let's roll up our sleeves and start solving the problem, all together.”

10:10global (http://www.1010global.org/), together with 350 (http://www.350.org/), coordinates a Global Work Party on 10^th October 2010, aka 10:10:10. This global work party emphasizes on everyone’s cumulative contributions to cut carbon dioxide by 10% starting 2010 so that the current 392 ppm of atmospheric carbon dioxide value could be brought down to 350 ppm, the upper safety limit eventually.

As we said, this is a global event, hence of course not excluding Singapore. In Singapore itself, this most happening event would be manifested into a “Balik Kampung Carnival”. Among various activities held at carnival such as massive yoga, movie screening, and green shopping; SP Environment Club will be setting up games booth for you to celebrate the climate solutions!

 Bring yourself, your family and friends to carnival for celebration!
