World Water Day and Earth Hour

Next week marks World Water Day (22 March) and Earth Hour (27 March) and is the perfect time for us to be more aware of our impact on the environment.

1. Tour to NEWater Visitor Centre to find out how Singapore leverages on technology advances to reclaim water.

NEWater is treated used water that has undergone stringent purification and treatment process using advanced dual-membrane (microfiltration and reverse osmosis) and ultraviolet technologies. It could be mixed and blended with reservoir water and then undergo conventional water treatment to produce drinking water (a procedure known as Planned Indirect Potable Use or Planned IPU).

If you are feeling lazy and do not wish to step out of your house, here’s a very information article which you can read, click here

2. Show your support and turn off your lights for one hour, Earth Hour, 8.30pm.

Perhaps some of you folks can get together and host an Earth Hour party or candlelit affair? Hahaha. Some of the gals and I will be having fun at Cameron Highlands and I will do my part by turning off all my electric applications at home/work, hahaha...
