in today's context of a globalized singapore, many people are concerned with building up our economy . what many people dont realise is that conserving out environment is just as important to our economy . yes our economic growth is important to sustain our economy , but only to a limited extent . we need to conserve our environment because they are vanishing fast ! is our government doing enough ? or rather , can they do more ? we believe that the government can do more to conserve our environment . We are not acusing the government of not doing anything , but we are merely saying that they can do more . It is important that we need to push for a change and start doing more to conserve our environment !

let us begin by asking ourselves a small , but important question ? Does economic growth really benefit us ? the answer is yes , because only with economic growth can we be one of the richest countries in the world . Only with economic growth can we have famous buildings or tourist attractions like
The Singapore Flyer , The Formula one Pit-Stop building , The Marina bay - Sands Integrated Resort , Resorts World Sentosa , Universal Theme Parks Singaproe and Changi Airport Terminal 3 . As our country , singapore , is one with no natural resources , economic growth is important . thus we must constantly find new ways to boost our economy . if we were to sacrifice space to conserve our environment , we wont be able to build skyscrapers . this also applies vice versa. If our economy does not develop , it risks being takan over by other superpowers .

what would happen if we had no forests left ? without any green plants , we would not have oxygen . we need to conserve our forests for the next generation . because of such technological advances made in the last 20 years , it is becoming harder and harder to conserve our environment . Especially is land scarce areas , like Singapore . If we dont push for a change now , the effects of global warming will hit us
