As the world is going through global warming and other climate issues, the Companhia de Electricidade de Macau (CEM) has organized, in partnership with the Debating and Speech Culture Association of Macau, the first edition of the “Energy Saving and Carbon Reduction Debating Competition,” involving eight schools and several dozens of students.
The contest featured four rounds highlighting different topics, such as the coexistence between economic development and energy conservation, the importance of education in the climatic combat, the interest of technology in promoting energy conservation and how the environment should be protected.
“We hope that through the debates, the students can learn [more] about energy conservation and carbon reduction, acquire the correct concepts, develop good habits, as well as spread the message to every corner of society,” the principal advisor to CEM executive committee, Benjamin Yue, said.
