At Keppel Club, I helped out and attended the IGOLF Forum in the morning and afternoon. The forum was such an enriching and interesting one. The topics were covered on turf diseases, biodiversity conservation, water & energy conservation. They were presented by the turf professionals, managers & doctors as well as IGOLF representatives from Switzerland & Thailand. After the presentations, I made a first move to introduce myself to them and to know them better during the coffee break. Managed to exchange our name cards each other so that we could interact, share and learn in the turf & environmental fields via email. For promoting environmental and green causes @ Keppel Club, I have been working closely with IGOLF, National Parks Board, Nature Society (Singapore) and Public Utilities Board.
Keppel Club & IGOLF working together to make the forum a great success.

Leaving the IGOLF forum halfway, I rushed to Botany Centre at Singapore Botanic Garden by a taxi at 2.30pm. From there, I also went for other seminar, organised by Singapore Environment Council. It was about Energy Efficiency, presented by environmental professionals from Denmark. Have learnt about the good Denmark government system, which supports the renewable energy such as solar, heat and wind energy. Compared to Denmark, Singapore really does not practice much on renewable energy. Necessary actions and efforts are really needed to be done in Singapore. Do you know that Danish government have implemented green taxes for people who use carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and pollutant gases? It made my eyes widely open... And if you invest in buying the energy-saving devices for commerical buildings & homes, it will reduce the running costs. This leads to saving a lot of money- more GDP is generated. These savings, in turn, can be spent for good domestic uses & benefits.
Beyond horticulture and landscape management, I am extremely happy to explore new things that are related to the environment. It sounds very interesting! Yay!

Hi Sis Char,
You are mostly welcome! Ok sure, I will definitely share with u about the environment & nature one day. Well, I would like to give you the water-saving kit (from PUB) for your home usage. It'll save your monthly water bills if the water-saving devices are installed at ur home.
With lots of love, hugs & kisses (100x), your Bro Ron.
