Every third quarter of the year, Singapore and its neighbours are enshrouded in thick haze caused by fires in parts of Indonesia. In 2014, Tan Yi Han and a group of Singapore citizens founded PM. Haze (People’s Movement to Stop Haze) with the goal to end this trend. In just two years, PM. Haze has gained ground and currently boasts a membership of thousands of Singapore volunteers. The rise of social movements to resist environmental degradation are a phenomenon of the 20th and 21st centuries, as acclaimed author and social activist Naomi Klein has documented in her latest book This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs the Climate. But these have come late to Singapore. Join tTales in a tea session with founding members of PM. Haze on 19th January (Tuesday), 3-5pm at the Masters Common Lounge. A great way to find out how you can actively contribute to ending the haze!

PM. Haze (People’s Movement to Stop Haze) was founded in February 2014 by a group of ordinary individuals in Singapore with the belief that everyone can play a part in ending transboundary haze in Southeast Asia. PM. Haze aims to empower people in Singapore with the values, knowledge, and means to drive a movement to stop the haze and ultimately attain clean air for present and future generations.
