    Double A RE-Live! @Atrium Post Event Report

    1. Introduc tion to Double A RE-live ! @atrium

    Glob al wa rming is a g row ing g loba l c onc ern and it is impo rta nt for us a s an individu al tostart making changes in our daily consumption habits to ensure a more sustainablefuture. That me a ns we ha ve to ma ke m ore informe d c hoice s as c onsum ers a nd users.Along with global warming, it brings about other problems that affect our quality of life.One w ell know n exam ple is, the inc rea sing num b er of deng ue a ttac ks in Singa p ore duethe inc rea sing a mount o f ra infall a nd frea k wea ther c hang es c aused by g lob al wa rming .

    We as humans have long lived carefree without concerning ourselves the effects of ourlifestyle on the environment. But, now we cannot continue doing it anymore as thec onseq uenc es of our pa st a nd p resent a c tivities are c atc hing up to us a nd knoc king a tour front d oo r. Drastic we ather c hang es have affec ted e c onom ic stab ility of m anynations, the raising temperature have killed many while displacing millions especiallyduring unexplainable draughts and floods, we are running out food and water suppliesand still, there are many that refuse to acknowledge that we had a contributed, onewa y o r ano ther, to this glob al d isaster.

    Hence, it is imperative that we as humans take a hard look at our lifestyle and makenecessary changes before it is too late. We no longer have the luxury to learn from ourmistakes as there wont be a second chance in near future if we dont make a standnow. That w ould req uire eve ryone to b e a wa re of the need for a c hangeand be informed on the a vailab le a venues for the pub lic t o d o m akethe cha nge.

    Hence, the aim of this proposal is to propose for a 15 days long event for ECO Youth tosha re w ith the p ublic on w hy their ac tion m atte rs and also inform them o f the a va ila bleave nues to take ac tion e spe c ially through their c hoices on c onsump tion ha bits
