Today is #EarthDay, and this year marks its 50th anniversary.
This year’s celebration happens amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Singaporeans, like people across the world, are staying home in an effort to stop the spread of this disease. But thanks to technology, we can still enjoy the breathtaking beauty of our shared home through virtual tours (check out this article for some beautiful examples: https://go.gov.sg/nddgec) and amazing tools like Google Earth.
As glum as things seem now, COVID-19 will eventually pass. But the wicked problem of climate change will still be with us, and it will be even harder to tackle. It is sobering to think that if we fail to slow down climate change, these virtual tours may be all future generations have to remind them of what was lost because we did not take action sooner.
Singapore cannot stop climate change by ourselves. It needs a global effort. But we will do our bit. Each of us must do our bit too, through small and sustainable steps, for example by wasting less food, choosing more energy efficient options, and recycling more. Let us all do our part to protect our Earth. – LHL
