In just 200 years, we’ve transformed Earth — through industrialization, overconsumption, deforestation, and climate change.
The result? Biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse, and a planet on fire.
But ENOUGH is ENOUGH! We can rewrite the story of the Anthropocene — proving that human activity isn’t always destructive.
Join RGS-Singapore and Marla Lise for our Earth Week special event "AnthropOH NO!" on 24 April to explore how we got into this mess – and more importantly - how we can get out of it. From practical solutions to storytelling for change, we will discuss how to inspire action and write better future narratives.

About the speaker:
Born in Singapore and raised around the world, Marla Lise has seen things that some cannot even imagine. A hopeless romantic, she is one who falls in love with stories and dreams. She therefore imagines an idealistic dreamworld and hopes to achieve it by teaching English, working in environmental education, and volunteering in conservation.
Leaving Singapore at an early age, Marla studied out in the Australian bush and later worked with various NGOs and wildlife rescue centres in South and Central America. After becoming a dive master, Marla also volunteered with marine conservation NGOs and still does today through her work at The International SeaKeepers Society, Asia.
Marla currently runs two companies, The English Curve and The Eco Chapter, where she hopes inspire systemic change through eco-literary activism. She holds a Post-Graduate Certificate in Education, Masters in Environmental Science and a Bachelors (Hons) in Animal Science.
