Our planet has shifted dramatically from the stable, balanced conditions of the Holocene to the turbulent and unpredictable Anthropocene — a period defined by human activity altering Earth's systems. What got us into this mess? And more importantly, how do we get out of it?
Join RGS-Singapore and Marla Lise, educator, environmental advocate, and #planetwriter, in our 24 April event "AnthropOH NO!" at the British Club Singapore to discover the key drivers behind our planet’s transformation, from industrialisation and overconsumption to ecological disruption and climate change. And more importantly - we will explore solutions, through science, innovation, and collective efforts for building a more sustainable and resilient future for all Earthlings.

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.
