Plastic, Plastic, On the Floor… Who Is the Recyclable Among Them All?
Written by Sharilyn Lim   

PLASTICS

Always known to be the largest polluter in the environment..

Consider the fact that BYOB is in the supermarket and we are encouraging the people that do their groceries in the supermarket to reduce the usage of plastics bags. Hmmm...yes they are indeed the ones that use the lots of plastic bags...

But take a step back, are they really the polluters? 

I would not agree to a certain extent...why?????

CDL ECO Race
Written by Sharilyn Lim   

 

18th of April 2010 marks the CDL E-Generation challenge, were you in the race? I wasn't, it flags off at Singapore Polytechnic and ended at Singapore's 1st Eco-mall, City Square Mall. I was awaitng for the teams arrival at City Square Mall. Me being a helper? Nope, me being a supporter!!!

Here is a write up by Kho Yu Li, Member of Singapore Polytechnic Environment Club 2009/2010...

I was excited just like anyone else to be able to participate in the Race representing SP. It feels totally like the amazing race on our televison which I felt it was cool. Throughout the morning, everything went on smoothly with not much hiccups.

 

 

Being in the Sun Group ( which is  motors.) Upon arrival, we had to queue up for 3 of the different stations - which includes segway, bicycle and electric bike. The rides were absolutely fun but the waiting time was the killer of all being in a race. What I thought could be improve was like what was happening in "The Amazing Race", where we can choose between 3 of these rides. This makes the time spent on this station shorter and groups can race against time for this Eco Race competition.

Most of us were pretty us-sure about the scoring system due to the lack of elaboration during the briefing.On top of that, due to the time constraint, we're told complete 1 question of out of the 4 questions, which the answers were on the electrical bike that was overcrowded with the other groups thus my team chose to use the ordinary bikes as this was a race.

Still I am glad to know that most of us had lots of us despite the many obstacles and wrong choices we made. Still I really wish to know what our ranking were out of so many teams. I look forward to next year's eco race if they still have it. It is indeed a race challenging our mind, and physical demands. I would like to thank CDL and the various sponsors for organizing such a great event. - the end

Hmmm...it seems like there are many positive and negative comments to consider on..wow..I might consider joining next year...Come on...lets join next year..we are all youths...

 

 
Stub Out Ticket Stubs!
Written by Alvin Goh   

Everyone loves a good movie, and with every good movie, we're left with ticket stubs, remnants of a movie long watched before. Some people I know have a habit of collecting these for mementos. Others, like me, are left with a mini pile of these when we move out of our hostels, ready to be thrown away.

This Earth Day, Golden Village is giving us another avenue to cut down on our ticket stub wastage, by introducing the mobile ticket, which effectively allows us to show our e-tickets via our mobile phones. The best thing is, we can skip those long ardous queues and head right for the screens!

This service is provided free to all patrons between 22nd and 25th April 2010 only (GV members get to enjoy this service free from now till 25th April!)

So why not go mobile for your next movie outing? Every little bit for the environment counts!

 
The Whales Need Your Help!

April is a dangerous time for whales in Norwegian waters: it marks the start of the whaling season. Without your help up to 1,286 minke whales will die this year from exploding harpoon and rifle wounds.

Norway needs to know that this is unacceptable, NOW.

Norway is one of just three countries defying the international ban on commercial whaling, undermining its reputation as a progressive nation concerned with animal welfare. By adding your signature to this petition, you let the Norwegian government know that you oppose this cruel and unnecessary practice.

WSPA, the World Society for the Protection of Animals, manages this campaign against whaling. Show your support by signing the petition through the petition link above. Help protect these gentle giants of the sea today!
