Three Singaporeans are living in a hot, stuffy see-through box for 24 hours to spread the green message. They are participants of MediaCorp's 'Gaia Life Challenge', a competition to find Singapore's most eco-friendly individual. The contestants have drawn curious stares from shoppers at Bugis Junction, and MediaCorp hopes the efforts of the contestants will inspire the public to go green. The box is a small Perspex house measuring 2.4 metres on all sides, and it can get really hot in there. There is an air-condition unit and an electric fan inside for the contestants to use if they want to. Contestants get 15-minute breaks every two hours, and some use them to cool off a bit. Contestants will also compete in games - from sorting out recyclables from their trash to collecting water from the nearby fountain. At the end of it all, one of them will leave with the grand prize of 10,000 Singapore dollars
personal response: I am very glad about the increasing awareness of global warming .The effects of global warming is unquestionable. With the recent reports about the rising of atmospheric temperature and sea level , the movement of saving Gaia is certainly significant.It is definitely not about one's own effort , but everyone's responsibility to protect and save the Earth.Destructions on the Earth have made a huge impact in our lives hence i support MediaCorp action to organise this activity as this will make us realise the importance of conservations in order for our next generation to survive and also win great prizes. Besides , i also hope that there will be more activities to save Gaia ,with the support of people of the world and help play their part.

Shi Ying,
I agree that every little effort is worth it. Good that corporations like Mediacorp are making efforst to do their part. What about your own efforts to reduce global warming? What are you doing as an individual, as a student.
Please watch your punctuation of "i"
