Concert Objectives and Programme

The objective of the Green Symphony concert is simple;

- To create awareness on how our lifestyle is affecting the planet
- To showcase young local talents
- To create an exciting event for the youth of today to enjoy

The concert will be held in SEGi College Kota Damansara from 6:30PM onwards. There will be a variety of different shows ranging from hip-hop dances to local bands and of course the stars of the show, the National Youth Orchestra and its members.

Awareness of the planet and our current living conditions have been spoken of ever since the early 80s, but in recent years this matter has escalated to different level altogether. The facts are simple; 1) there are not enough resources on this planet to sustain continued human growth and increasing quality of life, and 2) If we want to avoid catastrophic war, suffering, and global shortages of energy, we need to start looking to space seriously for solutions.

Global warming is a real threat whatever its causes are. Most say it’s too much CO2 in the air and some say it’s the sun but all in all it's a combination of different factors. Perhaps there are certain things that we can’t control but there are those that we can. One thing we can do is to help spread awareness about global warming. There are many ways to do so and we can start with our own homes. I remember my wife telling our maid not to burn rubber. I keep on telling my kids to recycle what can be recycled. I myself wasn’t spared from being lectured as I remember a good friend calling my attention when I threw a paper airplane and just left it on the ground.

Another good way of spreading awareness is to make use of current events that are either directly or indirectly linked to global warming. One such issue is the current global rice shortage. I personally use it to tell my kids how global warming resulted into drought and eventually into a worldwide diaster. If you want to take things a bit further, you can also start your own earth awareness blog and post your thoughts and ideas there. Blogging is an effective tool in spreading the word worldwide and so we must all use it. Joining online communities is another.

By know, I’m sure you already know that there are many ways to spread global warming awareness. Sometimes it just needs a little imagination and some effort, be it talking to the kids, changing your lifestyle habits or spreading the mesage via a concert.

The Green Symphony project is just that - to create awareness and a better future for our children.
