Nature Walk

At MacRitchie, we had an interesting lesson on how the palm tree's leaves splits and form it's characteristic leaflets. Then we saw figs where the male wasp is to live his entire life inside, fertilize the female while in the fig fruit and dies inside while the female goes and lay her eggs into another fig fruit. Nature has somehow made a pact with the wasps rendering this form of reproduction most advantageous to the wasps.
At Sungie Buloh, we were introduced to the rich diversity of organisms there. Then, just as we were abou to leave, I saw an empty drink packet heartlessly thrown into the water by some previous visitors. I was pretty upset seeing it. (See above picture)
We really need to respect the environment more. Singaporeans are driving big cars just to show off their wealth. Do we really need such big cars? Do we even care about the environment we live in? Each of us can make a difference by making a stand and showing people around us that we really do care for the environment. This ripple effect will (hopefully) eventually change the way people behave. This is the same for politics but first, we have to make a stand.
