Hey there! 🌟 Did you know that Singapore’s public sector is making efforts to help our planet? Let’s dive into what they’re doing to go green!
Small Decrease in Carbon Emissions 🚗💨
In the fiscal year 2023, Singapore’s public sector emitted 3.6 million tonnes of carbon dioxide. That’s a tiny drop of 0.2% compared to the previous year. Every little bit counts when it comes to caring for Earth! 🌍
Electricity and Water Use ⚡💧
Electricity use went up by 1.5% to 5,449 GWh. That’s like powering millions of light bulbs! On the bright side, water use went down by 0.4% to 33.4 billion liters. Saving water is super important for our planet. 💡💦
More Waste, But For a Reason 🗑️
The public sector produced 218.7 million kilograms of waste, a 1.3% increase. This happened because more people were out and about after COVID-19. Let’s remember to recycle and reduce waste whenever we can! ♻️
Aiming for Net-Zero Emissions 🌱
Here’s the big goal: Singapore’s public sector wants to reach net-zero emissions around 2045. That’s five years earlier than the national target! It’s like finishing a race before the deadline. 🏁
Every effort counts, and together we can make a difference. How can you help the environment today? 💚
