Schools Programme
The National Environment Agency and the Singapore Environment Council organised an energy-saving competition, the Project Carbon Zero, amongst Primary school students to motivate the students to adopt an energy efficient lifestyle at home.
The competition was a good way for young students to learn the benefits of energy efficiency as well as its effectiveness as a means to mitigate climate change.
Through this competition, students came to realise that most households can reduce their electricity consumption by at least 10% by adopting simple lifestyle changes such as not leaving appliances on standby mode or by setting their air-conditioners at 250C.
