Flowers for eternity?

These flowers are artificial and one day they may be all that we have to remind us of nature. Will we miss the real flowers? Will you? Imagine that all the trees in Singapore are replaced with trees like this. Just close your eyes and imagine. If you shudder at that thought, take better care of the environment now so that we can continue to enjoy clean air, greenery and of course, the real flowers.

Creating environmental awareness

I bought this beautiful photo frame and bookmarks from the Environmental Club of Hillgrove Secondary School at the entrance of Sungei Buloh Wetlands Reserve. They were made by the students of the club and carried the Nparks and Sungei Buloh stamps. It is great that students are given opportunities to think about the environment through club activities such as this. In applying their creativity to depict nature in fun and attractive ways, they are also spreading the message that all creatures big and small have roles to play and they are not just bugs or food on the table. We need them to balance the ecology and we need to take care of nature and our environment in order to enjoy them for generations to come.
