:: Stop Climate Change ::

(please click on the link on this entry title, thanks! Right click, select Open in new tab/window if you plan to read on first) This brochure is about Energy Efficient Singapore. I never knew Singapore has been that active in reducing climate change! =) Examples are the new National Library and The Environment Building, which won top ASEAN awards for energy efficient buildings, and incentives for architects and developers to design buildings in a way to save millions in terms of energy usage each year. The SingPost building at Paya Lebar thus saved $1.2m per year.

Just read about carbon footprint and carbon offsetting, bet u never heard of these terms before leh. It means: one decides that they don't want to be responsible for accelerating climate change, and they've already made efforts to reduce their carbon dioxide emissions, so they decide to pay someone else to further reduce their net emissions by planting trees or by taking up low-carbon technologies.

Hope to do more for the earth.. Got a wake up call from reading Asian Geographic magazine.
