Singapore Environmental Policies/Campaigns

Singapore Environmental Policies/Campaigns

1.ECO Singapore

Environmental Challenge Organization (Singapore), or ECO Singapore, is a not-for-profit social enterprise. Registered in 2003,ran solely only by volunteers,it was only in December 2005 when ECO Singapore began operationalising herself.ECO Singapore aims to establish a voluntary environmental problem,its mission is to encourage youths to take initiative and choose to live environmentally sustainable lifestyles.

2.Singapore government leads campaign for nature

COMPARED to other countries in the region, Singapore has a head start in the race towards "greenness". The country already prides itself on being a tidy, efficient, "clean and green" metropolis — thanks largely to a government that uses self-sponsored media campaigns to shape social behavior. 3.Urban environmental policy — The use of regulatory and economic instruments in Singapore

In urban environmental policy-making, regulatory and economic instruments are two main types of tools used to achieve policy goals. The paper initially reviews Singapore's efforts to achieve and sustain a high-quality urban environment. It looks at the country's various urban environmental policies in the spheres of population, natural resources, technology, consumption, and transportation. It then discusses the role of Singapore's regulatory and economic instruments such as its strict emission standards in the environmental sectors of air, water, solid waste and noise quality, its tight land-use planning controls, and its innovative traffic congestion tax scheme. It is suggested that the main factors which contributed to the country's success in using these instruments are its political leadership and technical expertise, economic prosperity, an efficient administration and a supportive law-abiding populace.

What is research?

1.To me,research is the process of finding out information and to fish out information from reliable sources.

2.Research is important as without it,we would be completely ignorant of things happening around us and it helps us understand how and why things are about.

3.In order to conduct good research,we must be sure our sources are reliable and not just 'copy and paste' as it is immediate extortion and not our own effort.
