Climate change is a global problem.

All of us contribute to climate change whenever we switch on an electrical appliance such as the air-conditioner, the radio or the lights. That is because our power plants generate the electricity we use in Singapore by burning fossil fuels such as oil and natural gas. Burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide (CO₂) which is a greenhouse gas. Excess CO₂ traps more heat from the sun via the greenhouse effect, causing climate change. Electricity generation accounts for 48% of Singapore’s CO₂ emissions in 2005.

We can all do our part to help fight climate change by reducing the electricity used at homes. Reduce CO₂ emissions, help the climate and save hundreds of dollars a year!

So take steps to reduce your CO₂ emissions now…..and save money at the same time. It is a “win-win” situation for all.
