My Sustainability Goals for 2024:

1. Recycling stations near people’s homes at more places around the city – this could significantly lessen the volume of waste that goes to landfills.
2. A few degrees warmer in offices, shopping malls and other public spaces. In many places, the aircon is working at lower temperatures than what’s really needed. This would save a lot of precious energy.
