Saving Gaia

Saving Gaia is an outreach programme targeted primarily at the public to educate and inform about environmental issues and encourage them to take responsibility for their actions so as to save Mother Earth (Gaia being the Ancient Greek personification of Mother Earth). What started purely as a documentary programme is now one of the most established initiative synonymous with environmental awareness.

In addition, Mediacorp commemorates Earth Day, World Environment Day and also participates in International Coastal Clean-up Day, a worldwide initiative held every third Saturday of September, involving staff members to clean up stretches of beach in Singapore and to help monitor the pollutant levels.

Internally, Mediacorp adopts practices that encourage recycling, reduced consumption and responsible disposal. The new Mediacorp Campus in one-north won BCA’s Green Mark Platinum Award, the highest award for green building certification through the implementation of highly efficient air conditioning, Sky-gardens to improve air quality, light shafts to bring in more day-light and green concrete and regenerative drives to recover waste energy from lifts. 

City Development Limited - BCA-CDL Green Sparks Competition 2010

The BCA-CDL Green Sparks Competition is a first-of-its-kind initiative designed to raise awareness and engage tertiary students in the greening of the built environment.

 Launched for the first time in 2010, this public-private initiative was mooted to engage local tertiary students in the national effort to green the built environment and to raise awareness of best green building practices and solutions amongst future practitioners. For the inaugural competition, students were presented with the challenge of enhancing the environmental performance of Fuji Xerox Towers, an existing 38-storey office building owned by CDL. The building attained the BCA Green Mark Gold award in 2008 and students were invited to submit their retrofitting proposal for the building, with the aim of reducing its energy consumption and lowering its carbon footprint to allow it to qualify for the BCA Green Mark Platinum award.

"Green Wednesday", a team from the National University of Singapore (NUS) outshined 19 other teams from five tertiary institutions to clinch the top prize at the finals of the BCA-CDL Green Sparks Competition 2010 held at BCA Academy on 31 August 2010. The second and third prizes were awarded to "Team GBS" and "Earthlink" from Temasek Polytechnic respectively.

The winners received their prizes from Guest-of-Honour, Dr Mohamad Maliki Bin Osman, Parliamentary Secretary for National Development, during the prize-giving ceremony. The top team took home S$10,000 cash and a plaque.
