Reviews

“Getting to Zero” Game is educational and engaging. My students learnt to strategise to achieve zero carbon emissions, navigating around carbon tax laws, understanding the need for global cooperations, and the significance of environmental conservation. This game certainly serves as a good stimulus in enhancing students’ awareness of how they can play their role in achieving sustainable development.

 From a JC teacher


The game was educational because I learned many new policies that I didn’t know existed in Singapore — for example, carbon tax and coastal restoration. It was very memorable. 

I realise it is not easy to make climate policy decisions because there are differing needs and interests for each country and trade-offs will be involved when a decision is made.

 From secondary 3 school students


“The Getting to Zero workshop was a meaningful platform for our students to be exposed to climate policies and the different considerations when managing climate change. Being able to learn about these considerations through the game made it more digestible and engaging for the students as compared to if they had learnt it through direct delivery of content. Upon introduction to the different cards throughout the game, the students also got to ask questions about what they mean and the reason behind the impact they hold. The Getting to Zero game also allows the students to exercise some form of decision making where they are then able to weigh out and reason what is important to them, how to best balance the different aspects of sustainability (i.e. planet, people and profit), and why it may not be so straightforward."

haBEEtat is an educational card game for 2 to 4 Players. It features the 4 Honey Bee Species in Singapore.

While all Bees and pollinators play an important role in our Ecosystem, Honey Bees are the only pollinators that live in large numbers, can sting, and are more likely to adapt to living in urban settings. As such, they are the ONLY pollinator that is often targeted for extermination.

One of the 5 pillars of Singapore's Green Plan is City in Nature. Honey Bees, Bees, and all other pollinators are a crucial part in sustaining and maintaining our Ecosystem.

haBEEtat (and the accompanying resources provided here) aims to educate players in a fun way about the importance of Honey Bees and the alternative choices we have when they move into or close to our living areas.

As part of The Sundowner Bee Rescue team, Eugene has been actively involved in Honey Bee rescues and relocations since 2022.

After a particularly trying rescue in 2023 where the owner of the flat proudly exclaimed that he emptied a whole can of bug spray at the bees, Eugene felt the pressing need to better educate members of the public on the importance of Honey Bees as pollinators and how we can relocate them instead of exterminating them.
