Singapore

Michael Chavis, Caleal Truitt

 Air Quality
● Air quality in Singapore is considered
unhealthy.
● In August 2016, the PSI exceeded 100
and haze conditions in Singapore hit
unhealthy levels.
● In addition to PSI levels, the NEA
said that the health impact of haze is
also dependent on one's health status
and the length and intensity of
outdoor activity.
Water
● Singapore's water usage reaches a
demand of about 430 million gallons
per day.
● Today, there are four sources , and
the water supply can be divided into
"four national taps"
● The different taps are local catchment
water, imported water, NEWater and
desalinated water.
Land Use
● Singapore faces immense challenges in
its land-use planning. Given its small
size, careful planning is critical for the
economic growth and future
development of the country.
● Throughout the past 40 years,
Singapore has prided itself on
sustainable development
● The development has allowed it to
achieve economic growth appreciated
by its citizens.
Transportation
● The three main modes of public
transport in Singapore are the Mass
Rapid Transit (MRT), buses and taxis.
● Buses are, by far, the most common
form of public transportation in
Singapore
● Many parts of Singapore, including
islands such as Sentosa and Jurong
Island are accessible by road.
Energy
● Currently, 95% of Singapore's electricity is produced using natural gas, while the
rest is produced by coal, oil, municipal waste, and solar.
● Singapore is limited in terms of cost-effective and reliable renewable energy
sources.
● There are no hydro resources, our
wind speeds and mean tidal range
are low, and geothermal energy is
not economically viable.

● Solar energy remains the most

viable renewable energy option for
Singapore
Food and Agriculture
● 90 percent of the country's food
comes from overseas imports.
● There is little local agriculture in
Singapore
● Singapore's principal exports are
petroleum products
Green Buildings
● Green buildings are gaining importance
in Singapore
● Green Buildings may hold the key to
reducing Singapore's carbon footprint
as urban development
● The high-tech garden structures
range from 80 to 160 feet and collect
solar energy to power a nightly light
show.
Waste
● In 2018, 7.70 million tonnes of solid waste was generated, about 9,000
tonnes less than in 2017

● Singapore destroy more than 2.8 million

tonnes of waste a year, up from 2.4 million
tonnes in 2000.
● Singapore's incineration plants generate
electricity, but they are also heavy carbon
emitters and choke the incentive to recycle.
Public Health
● Healthcare in Singapore is supervised
by the Ministry of Health of the
Singapore Government.
● It largely consists of a government-run
universal healthcare system with a
significant private healthcare sector.
● Tan Tock Seng Hospital is one of the
top hospitals in Singapore
