Obviously, we need a lot more public education efforts to support the recent Earth Day celebrations and Bring Your Own Bag (BYOB) campaigns. Our problem of littering isn’t fresh news.

Are We Still Clean and Green?

It is sad but true. Singapore’s claim to fame as a clean and green city may be under threat if we do not buck up. In a recent news report on Channelnewsasia, it was cited that littering is on the rise in Singapore. In the first 10 months of this year, a staggering 4,800 were […]
