The North West CDC, of which our constituency is part of, is organizing an online forum on Sustainability.

Our MP, Ms Carrie Tan, is also passionate about sustainability. Recently in parliament, she has spoken about it. She called on Singaporeans to reduce wasteful consumption, saying “The only way to avoid the crisis is to consume and produce in ways that are transformatively different from before.”

“If we do not start regenerating our Earth, we are consuming it to death and putting humanity on the trajectory to an era of war and destructive competition, which is already beginning to set in.”
Straits Times 24 Feb 23Permaculture is a sustainable and innovative approach to farming and gardening that can be adapted to any environment, including in an urban setting like Khatib Vale. By adopting permaculture principles, we can reduce our ecological footprint and create a more sustainable future.

One response to “Sustainability Forum”
More than 50 participants attended a talk by Ms Catherine Loke, who walked us through the supply chain of the chicken in our plate of chicken rice and highlighted the issue of its sustainability. Ms Loke discussed alternative solutions with the audience, emphasizing the need to find sustainable ways to maintain our lifestyle without giving up eating chicken rice.
One solution she proposed was the implementation of permaculture principles in farming, and she highlighted the urgency of this crisis.
During the discussion, Ms Carrie Tan spoke about the possibility of applying permaculture principles in the revised design for the Grand Park. The Khatib Vale Neighbours’ Network is also starting a Gardening Club through which hopefully residents can get involved in the process.
We invite everyone to join us and get involved in promoting sustainable practices.
Thank you.
