“If it can’t be reduced, reused, repaired, rebuilt, refurbished, refinished, resold, recycled, or composted, then it should be restricted, designed or removed from production.” – Pete Seeger
This quote sure feels like an interesting spin to the common question of what is sustainability?
In light of sustainability , we thought of bringing to light Singapore's very own sustainability academy that not many are aware of Singapore Sustainability Academy
Singapore Sustainability Academy
The Singapore Sustainability Academy is the first major People, Public and Private (3P) ground-up initiative in support of the UN Sustainable Development Goals and Singapore’s national goals to tackle climate change.
The zero-energy academy is a Green Mark Platinum building awarded by the Building and Construction Authority, and the first in Singapore to have its construction materials, Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) and Glued Laminated Timber (Glulam) verified by the Nature’s BarcodeTM system as coming from responsible sources.
It is also the first collaboration between a private developer and non-profit organization to set up a major training and networking platform, harnessing the combined expertise and extensive network of both CDL and the Sustainable Energy Association of Singapore (SEAS). The academy is the culmination of both CDL and SEAS’ vision and mission to build a sustainable future via collaboration.
Like a single acorn
has the power to produce an entire forest,
a positive influence for sustainable action
can travel from one person to a million others.
This is why we direct 20% of our income to sponsor youth. We aim to cultivate values of sustainable and social innovation in younger generations, with the hope that they might be inspired to champion sustainability wherever they may end up. It is an investment in the future of our planet.
