EcOasis
Finally, the dream becomes reality.
On 16 Jan 08, Mr Tharman Shanmugaratnam, Minister for Finance & Minister for Education, planted the seeds for EcOasis at the Singapore Science Centre. Together with our generous sponsors, the team saw the beginning of EcOasis.
This project was conceived in 2006 as a tangible showcase for environmental technologies. Located in the Eco Garden of the Singapore Science Centre, the EcOasis will be useful as an educational platform for casual visitors or teachers bringing their students for field trips.
In addition, the EcOasis will also be part of ECO Singapore's Enrich! Programme on environmental sustainability. This program aims to instill the fundamentals of sustainable living and motivate the participants to start taking actions in their daily lifestyle
We Want YOU!
From now till the completion of EcOasis in April 08, we need 10-15 volunteers to help with the trials and construction of the various systems within the EcOasis. Key Systems include:
- Rainwater-Harvesting
- Green roofs & walls
- Bio-diesel
- Grey-water recycling
- Recyclable Living Space
Volunteers will need to commit about 2-4 hours per week for these two months. No prior knowledge is required but passion for the cause is highly recommended!
To volunteer, pls email volunteer@eco-singapore.org or sms YaO @ 94233204.
PS: Please help forward this to as many people you think might be interested as possible.
