One credit permits the emission of one ton of carbon dioxide or the equivalent in other greenhouse gases.

Carbon credits are referred to as tradable instruments, and are certified by independent certification bodies. Every carbon credit is traceable and finite; once used to offset any organisation’s emissions, they are retired forever, and cannot be sold again.]]> 2022-04-21 20:41:21 UTC https://padlet.com/suzanna20/vz5svoyjx8qrx3hd/wish/2152658290 suzanna20 https://padlet.com/suzanna20/vz5svoyjx8qrx3hd/wish/2152666894 In the field of water purification:
- Key developments include membrane filtration, microbial fuel cells, nanotechnology, development of biological treatments and natural treatment systems such as wetlands.

In the field of recycling & waste management:
- Chemical recycling, for example, is an innovative process that uses chemicals to break down post-consumer plastic waste into its valuable chemical components. These components can then be used as fuel or converted once again into new plastic products.

In the field of architecture & self-sufficient buildings:
- Solar panels, for example, are designed to capture energy from the sun, but the majority of the sun’s energy is lost as heat. New inventions in solar panel design allow for the production of both electricity and heat. These solar panels help buildings produce their own heat and electricity through solar energy.

In the field of transportation:
- Electric Vehicles / Alternative Fuel Vehicles

In the field of agriculture:
- Vertical farms have the potential to feed overpopulated cities while using less land and less water. They also cut greenhouse gas emissions by eliminating the need to transport the produce over long distances. Over the past few years, vertical farms have sprouted all over the world including Singapore!]]> 2022-04-21 20:51:13 UTC https://padlet.com/suzanna20/vz5svoyjx8qrx3hd/wish/2152666894 suzanna20 https://padlet.com/suzanna20/vz5svoyjx8qrx3hd/wish/2152673299 Here are some ways to rally your fellow comrade colleagues to love our environment more:

4. Support your HR team or Sustainability Department by participating in engagement initiatives and just being enthusiastic!
5. Champion a sustainability cause at work (e.g. encourage printing only when extremely necessary, organise a preloved clothes collection drive, set up a space & process to recycle used paper)
