You have been hired by Sheng Siong to rethink their practices to make it more environmentally sustainable in line with SGP 2030.

Think about..
How this would affect consumers purchasing decisions and profits that your company can reap?

You are currently selected as an Eco-steward  (environmental education champion) in your school. You have been tasked to work with the student councilors to encourage the student body to go green.

After finding out more about the Green Plan, you have some concerns about whether your student body will work together to achieve these targets, based on what you have observed in school so far.

Think about..
Your daily routine in school, and what are some of the reasons why students are reluctant to go green?

# data[].attributes.body
With a job and three children to look after, green initiatives are the least of your concern.
You are mainly motivated by convenience and efficiency.

Think about..
What are some of the challenges that working mothers may face when these policies are implemented?

Put yourself in the shoes of the elderly: Living alone with pre-existing medical conditions that hinders mobility, going green is not their priority.

Think about...
The challenges that they may face in taking action to go green.

→da bao food for da kids #mcds (lots of plastic bags)
→drive kids/pick them up from school (carbon emissions)
→online grocery shopping as a result of being a busy woman ( lots of plastic bags)
→charging the kids ipads n our 7 computers (energy wastage)

# data[].attributes.body
elderly living alone can go to the community garden(eg the one near tpy mrt) to grow plants, they can make new friends

Everyone gets sent to school by private transport

# data[].attributes.body
1. elderly people who find it hard to move about, are unable to go to recycle bins only located at certain areas to dispose of their materials and instead just throw everything down the chute

# data[].attributes.body
1. They cannot drive their kids to school as the green plan ask them to drive less => cycle instead
2. Use less waste do they can't use disposable stuff like diaper plate etc
3.busy working so no time to plant food for their kids to eat ( 30% of Singapore nutritional needs through locally produced food)
4. Spend money to use cleaner energy. So less money for kids to buy stuff

# data[].attributes.body
we need to have lower carbon emissions when we produce our goods, which would mean we need to search for greener alternatives which will be more expensive. since it increases the price of the goods, customers will be less inclined to want to buy the goods as it may be too expensive. this leads to decrease of revenue

# data[].attributes.body
Some elderly may not be willing to accept the change from how we currently live to living a more sustainable lifestyle as they may feel that it’s not as pertinent as we make it out to be. Another challenge is that because many of them would have retired by then, their children (or the ones who look after them) may face economical difficulties and will have to limit their finances, etc, impacting the lifestyles of the elderly.

# data[].attributes.body
would like to encourage more students to adopt a more environmentally eating lifestyle (less meat) but it would be hard to ask for the schools to have more vegetarian options for students

# data[].attributes.body
Start school later so that people will have more time to get to school and parents will not be as concerned that their child will be late for school and let them take public transport

# data[].attributes.body
1. recycle bins can be at each floor of a hdb flat, enabling people to dispose of their waste more easily
2. fines can be implemented for people who refuse to cooperate
3. vouchers (from ntuc) can be given to individuals who make special effort to recycle

# data[].attributes.body
→bring own bags to store mcds
→teach kids how to use public transport/school bus
→ask my husband to move his buttocks and go grocery shopping irl (bring own bag!)
→only charge when needed aka don't charge overnigjt / screen time

# data[].attributes.body
Some elderly may not be very active, so they might not want to utilise the new facilities (parks)

# data[].attributes.body
most elderly are against the use of technology, so they can influence the younger generations to not use technology also

Maybe the government could give out incentives to the elderly for doing their part for the environment, which would maybe entice them to continue living a sustainable lifestyle

# data[].attributes.body
it is difficult to raise awareness about the green plan and garner the support of the elderly to come on board as the main platform to promote and garner support is primarily through the internet

# data[].attributes.body
the school drink stall should stop giving plastic lids and straws for every drink that they sell

# data[].attributes.body
the lived in kampungs before, so they have experience of having no water, so they have the habit of saving water, influence younger generation

# data[].attributes.body
the secondary schools should offer the school bus services, like the primary schools so parents would not need to send their kids to school

# data[].attributes.body
- use environmental friendly fridges and freezers
- dont provide plastic bags

# data[].attributes.body
when food expires, we can compost and reuse it to make fertilisers for plants instead of simply throwing it away, helping us save money :D buyers will not be provided any plastic bags so they have to bring their own bags from home, plant based food (plant based beef)

# data[].attributes.body
schools use lights in the day, which is very weird, why do we do that. theres natural light available so urm, none of us switch on our lights at home even when we study cause the sunlight is enough, how come schools dont do that. also, mr tang, why do u close the windows to block natural light when u can switch off the lights :(

# data[].attributes.body
- energy saving appliances are expensive
- encourage customers to bring their own or charge them for plastic bags

# data[].attributes.body
Invent stuff to make it more environmentally friendly and child friendly reusable diapers

# data[].attributes.body
Another thing that the elderly may enjoy would be having a park near their homes (as part of SG green plan to have parks within 10 minutes of every home)  so they can conveniently go out and enjoy themselves in nature
