What’s the easiest way to help save environment?

By Admin | Published: March 10, 2010

You can start by not printing your e-mails. According to the National Environment Agency (NEA), the highest recycling rates of materials in Singapore comprise metal (up to 91 percent), wood (52 percent) and paper (51 percent). Incidentally, glass (9 percent) and plastic (11 percent) are among the materials with the lowest rates. “The economics of collecting and recycling certain kinds of waste are more favourable, hence the higher rates of recycling,” says Ong Seng Eng, director of Resource Conservation at the NEA. So unless you work in a steel or timber mill, the best way to begin your Gaia project is to recycles as much paper as possible – newspapers, magazines, newsletters, shredded documents, whatever. If you office doesn’t have recycling facilities, start one or visit the NEA website at www.nea.gov.sg/cms/rcd/locations/map.html for a list of the recycle bins in Singapore. Don’t neglect the other kinds of materials that can be recycled as well (plastics, glass,cans) because every bit counts, you tree-hugger, you.
