Dear Eco-friendly friends,

Do you wish to know how climate change is affecting the planet?

Do you wonder what will happen to the planet if the world’s temperature increases by 1/2/3 or 5/6 degrees?

How much time does leading scientists think the world has before it reaches a point where climate change becomes irreversible? How much time do we have to act on this issue?

Do you wonder why the world is facing food and water shortages?

Do you wish to know what effective measures prominent scientist such as NASA’s director Dr Jame’s Hansen and UN IPCC Chairman Dr Rajendra Pachauri recommend to curb global warming?

What are the latest findings of climate scientists in the recent Mar 09 Copenhagen conference in Denmark?

If you are concern about these questions, you are welcome to attend a presentation on “Global Warming : It’s Science / it’s Effects and Solutions” to be held on Friday [19 Jun] evening at Kampong Senang Holistic Lifestyle Center. The session is held free-of-charge as a service to planet Earth and mankind.

    Hi Nadya, Des and Linda, good job with the website. You will be pleased to know that a group of about 30 singaporeans and residents, including myself attended a permaculture course in early June right here in Singapore- here is the link

    Now all of us are so inspired and geared up to set up our own urban farms!

    Linda hope to catch up with you and Dom soon!

    Best regards

    That’s amazing, Faizah. I hope we see a resurgence of farming in Singapore, in particular, urban farming where people can grow in their own houses.

    I am currently researching on building an eco-friendly solar powered home hydroponics garden and then compare the results to a friend who has been growing his own vegetables in his backyard over the next year or so.

    So hopefully we can gather some results and share it here later on.
