Changing Climates
Dear Friends,
These few days have been showing quite the weather patterns. It can be raining overnight, hot in the morning, only to rain again later. These are not just standard monsoon patterns. We even had 1 company postpone with us, only to have the weather just barely fine enough that they could actually continue. It is getting harder to predict the weather nowadays! Climate change is affecting Singapore and also our personal outdoor plans!
Speaking of climate changes, even sustainability movements are shifting. Social and other non-profit organisations are now also encouraged to consider their environmental impact as they continue to operate, not just companies. That is the urgency we need to work together to save whatever is left of our environment for our future generations; more so our waterways for Singapore.
We are happy to see volunteers coming to WWS and we are truly moved to see more and more people getting involved with what can affect all of our futures; and we hope that our initiatives will continue to encourage more people to step up.
