Random CASS students...
[Just another article I did for SP Environment Club's facebook space. The next few articles will be on green too, so don't mind the over-enthu greens! Save Gaia!]

If you think you’re being left out from the cool greening things and stuff going on in SP, think again. There are more platforms than just the physical environment on campus.
SP’s own Go M.A.D. [Go Make a Difference] website www.spgomad.sg is a great platform for SP students and environmentalists to discuss hot topics and be in the know of recent campus green activities or be informed of events to be. It consists of Go Green movements in particular, www.spgogreen.sg, and inspirational innovations or ideas from SP students, lecturers and directors in general from Go Inspire, www.spgoinspire.sg.
Not just another platform that SP has for show, the contents within their forums are newsworthy and are necessary for any youth to ponder over. Recently, lecturers are using the Go Green website to get students to submit their tutorial essays or comments on topics relating to whatever is green. Little issues like the impacts of plane travel on the environment in the long-run or recycling in Singapore are fresh ways to get student input. Also, we’re online all the time, so the online Go Green forum is almost the perfect pedagogy and for engaging cyber spaced-out students. Very apt, and a plus point to the tutorial, I must say.

The SP Go Inspire website focuses on anything revolutionary or plain crazy. So long as you have the heart and courage to pen down that thought, and thereafter to publish it in Go Inspire as a proposal or for publicity’s sake, that’s good enough! Ruskin Ong, SP Env Club’s President, proposed the idea The Thinking Mosaic for example, and has recently put that idea into action, collecting dozens of dusty banners from lecturers and Student Club Officers. Will he be able to get the montage into the Book of World Records as described in his proposal? Do get updated on this event and other Environment Club-initiated events by visiting the Env Club website: www.spenvclub.cca.sg.
