Green Living 2016 was launched by Mr Desmond Lee, Senior Minister of State, Ministry of Home Affairs and Ministry of National Development. This year exhibition is themed Cities of Love is inspired from the book Cities of Love authored by Mr. Tai Lee Siang and Ms. Valerie Ang. The book, Cities of Love focuses on 12 core ingredients that can make the city a better and sustainable place to live in; such as Family Oriented City, Edible City, Smart Device City, Garden City and more which were represented by the different zones for visitors to explore and experience. Green Living aims to encourage visitors to adopt a greener approach to their lifestyle.

The Singapore Sustainability Story in its second edition featured the key initiatives of government agencies and corporates allowed visitors to understand and learn more about the initiatives through story telling by individuals, groups and corporates. The best 20 shortlisted stories were showcased at Green Living 2016. Visitors were invited to cast their votes for their favourite story and the top three stories will win shopping vouchers. 

This year’s top three finalists out of the 20 shortlisted stories were Ong Wee Lee, Lucas Lu and 12-year old Summer Fong. All three were given the highest votes for their efforts in sharing with public on their sustainable tips to achieve a greener living in our daily lives. Voters were given an insight on what they practice as a family in order to contribute to a more sustainable lifestyle.

“We use laundry water to flush the toilets. We also turn down our tap to reduce water waste, and keep our air-conditioner temperature at 25 degrees,” mentioned Wee Lee. In addition, she also mentioned on how we could create a more sustainable workplace environment. “In the office we make sure to use double sided on all paper.” Summer shared about how her family recycles food waste into compost, creating an edible garden in their home. These stories inspire and encourage others to embrace a greener lifestyle and also engage Singaporeans through interactive activities in reducing their carbon footprint.

At the event, visitors were able to find out more and had the opportunity to purchase about over 100 brands of eco-friendly products covering Sustainable Home, Eco Parents, Health & Wellness, Transportation & Mobility and Smart Technology. There were lots to do at the event and including over 40 interactive workshops and seminars over the 3 days of exhibition for the public to take part in and most of them were free. 

In addition to the above, highlights of some of the eco-lifestyle products, services  and events that were featured at Green Living 2016 as follows:

Beauty and wellness – a variety of organic skincare products and makeup made from natural ingredients, such as Ayelli’s pure organic Moroccan Argan Oil, Balm Kitchen’s botanical-based skin care and body care line, Flare Wellness’ organic beauty treatments as well as The Soap Haven’s range of soap bars suitable for all skin types, including for those with skin-conditions.

One of the main highlights at the exhibition was IKEA’s first sustainable living showroom outside of the IKEA Singapore store. This was actually modelled after a typical home in Singapore. We were taken on a tour around the showroom where the host informed us on various initiatives and ideas on how we can save our electricity bills, reduce water and waste usages.

We learnt so many tips and ideas at IKEA, this lovely compact box is IKEA’s rechargeable box which can help to charge many batteries at the same time. This helps to reduce batteries wastage to save environment and save money by just recharging our batteries for multiple uses up to 500 times.

We realised that we can switch to LED bulbs which consume 85% less power than incandescent bulbs. LED bulbs are long lasting, they can last up to 20 years. IKEA’s energy efficient LED bulbs has a combination of general, task and mood lighting comes with various shapes and sizes for you to choose from.

You can use IKEA taps which helps to reduce water consumption. Learn to save your water bills by turning off your shower tap while soaping and reduce your shower time by 5 minutes, run water 1 minute less when brushing your teeth and save water by putting a pail to catch your water when showering, you can reuse the water for other uses like washing clothes, watering your plants etc.
