Environmental Challenge Organisation (Singapore), or ECO Singapore is a non-profit, non-government organization. ECO aims to establish a voluntary environmental movement, thereby creating opportunities for active involvement by Singaporean youths, instilling a sense of commitment and awareness of environmental issues and global hazards. By providing youths a holistic approach towards environmental issues, ECO Singapore’s mission is to encourage youths to take initiative and choose to live environmentally sustainable lifestyles.
Welcome!
Earth Hour (Singapore) Grassroots Movement
ECO Singapore takes on the grassroots movement to coordinate this effort in 2008 to get as many Singaporeans as possible to start taking actions against climate change by participating in this global event.
A step-by-step blog was created for people who want to learn and ACTUALLY do something. It gives a complete guy whether you are an individual, working in a company/organisation or a school teacher.
Currently, there are about 7 grassroots activities, ranging from stargazing to movie screening, organised by various stakeholders out of their own initiative. Members of the public can take the opportunity to attend these events!
Things You Can Do
A campaign for a better world!
What is it?
"Things You Can Do" is a massive social campaign that is first of its kind — a project that is entirely initiated by youth for youth. The campaign is organized by Raffles One Earth (the environmental club of Raffles Junior College) and mentored by the Environmental Challenge Organisation (Singapore), also known as ECO Singapore.
The campaign focuses on identifying the 7 key simple habits, out of the thousands of them you can find online, that youth can start doing in school or at home for a start to lead a greener lifestyle.
Support ECO Packaging Movement
There are increasing amounts of foam and plastic disposables being used in Singapore; such wastes are non-biodegradable, and leads to the need for incineration and the filling up of our landfills – both hold adverse effects for the environment.
There lies an attractive alternative to Polystyrene aka Styrofoam and disposable plastic boxes: recyclable paper boxes. This paper is sourced from sustainable farming. On top of that, they can be recycled after being used, thus reducing our reliance on the products derived from petroleum (styrofoams).
