Hello! My name is Charleston, a sophomore student reading Psychology at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.  I have been travelling to different parts of South East Asia and I am constantly looking for how to resolve or alleviate environmental issues together with the local youth.

Being inspired by the youth being committed to the environmental causes, I decided to pursue this course on Conservation Psychology in order for me to better contribute to this field.

One of the topic that really struck me is the amount of sand that Singapore consumes. Is Singapore just importing sand and sitting back while doing nothing about the environmental impact our neighbours who export sand to us? What are we really doing?  We shall find out more as you read my blog.

I hope that this blog will be able to raise awareness on how closely connected we are connected to the issue on environmental degradation about sand.
