Earth Day


Earth Day is celebrated in commemoration of the beginning of the modern ecological movement all over the world. Earth-Day activity was initiated on 22nd April 1970 by Senator Gaylord Nelson of the USA. He organised the first peaceful rally to draw the attention of the world regarding environmental pollution, dwindling earth’s natural resources, and the industrial activities that were threatening life support systems. The issues raised by senator Nelson then, led to the 1972 United Nation’s Environmental Programme and since then Earth-Day has been celebrated worldwide.The 3R is an excellent way of saving energy and conserving the environment.We can Reuse,Recycle,Reduce and turn off the lights when not in use.

Singapore Kindness Movement


Kindness is the act or the state of being kind and marked behaviour.Kindness is important because it not only affords another person the opportunity to feel better about themselves, it also affords me the ability to feel better about myself. So giving kindness to others, and to myself, will always yield a reward.
We can show kindness everyday by holding the door for the person behind me and offering my seat to someone who need more than me.I think that Singaporean are not gracious enough.
-Yielding to pedestrians at zebra crossing while driving
-Appreciating little acts of kindness everyday
-Offering my seat to someone who need it more
-Greeting neighbours and colleagues in the morning
-Using 'Please' and 'Thank You' often
