One thing we need to look at is product packaging. If we can move away from excessive packaging we can help reduce waste in conjunction with a system like this. We got a lot to do.
Meanwhile Canada, "We take the trash and push it somewhere else!"
Just love Singapore’s approach towards solving its problems caused due to its limited landmass.
Don't take your eyes off the PRIZE ..... no matter what the distractions maybe be around you. UNDERSTAND YOUR PURPOSE, I went from living an average life to making over 63k per month. It's amazing. The financial markets are full with opportunities, but I've learned a lot over the past few years to doubt that. The key is knowing where to focus. Well appreciated, Rodger Michael Karl.
As someone living in Singapore, I think more can be done, especially in terms of active participation from the people. As a developed country, I am surprised that there is no waste separation or recycling system in the household level. Sure there are recycling bins everywhere but people are not educated enough and in the end they just dispose everything as general waste. Also, the fact that the landfill is in another island, the trash issue is like, out of sight, out of mind. I hope in the future the people can be more aware and more involved in the recycling and trash management system instead of relying on government to take action.
I lived here for 5 years! Singapore is amazing, peaceful and safe. I did feel little lonely at times being away from family and friends, but that loneliness allowed me to spend hours, days, years in Singaporean amazing libraries. I found so many awesome books and learned so much. The American libraries should learn from Singapore on the content they provide. Singaporean library collection is mindblowing!
Singapore is the jewel of Asia.
Brilliant! As an Indonesian. I hope someday I'll be a governor of the province I live right now and start to fix the environment. Much love to Singapore!
I live in Indonesia and everytime I visit Singapore annually, I dream that someday Jakarta (capital of Indonesia) will have a modern recycling center that's government backed
Man, the Philippines needs something like this. The exhaust from the plants can be heavily controlled to minimized air pollution.
It's amazing that in my lifetime the way the world views waste has changed so drastically. I can only hope that it continues in a positive direction.
State of Tamilnadu in India, Waste Management Treatment center's are something we desperately need. Thanks to CNBC !! Great Content !!
Singapore is a role model of aseans countries. Specially my country Philippines adopting Singapore strategic planning of garbage problems, roads and parks planning, housing for poverty, soon Philippines will be better country like Dubai of aseans.
New York City needs to take notes and study for their up coming environmental exam in 2030.
Singapore is a marvellous example of getting things right under state guidance. Lee Kuan Yew was a brilliant man.
Singapore 🇸🇬 is excellent model to the whole wide world 🌎 .Beautiful gorgeous heart,the sunshine 🌞 on the planet.Thank you so much perfect channel.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️God bless and peace grace Singapore 🇸🇬
I admire Singapore. It really is an example to be followed!
This is a great system every country should use.
For my family, we have decided to bring along stackable food containers and carrier bags wherever we go, in case we see something we would like to eat or buy. For a while I think we have not seen much single use plastic stuffs at home already. Tried to encourage my colleagues and some of them adopted the same too. Hope in time to come, Singapore can minimise plastic footprints. Have a compost pot too, vege matters and food waste we dumped in there and the end product goes into our flower pots of herbs and small fruiting plants… we all can do better together, cheers 😊
Singapore with brilliant attitude ❤️
