Slides are NOT Reports
A report has full sentences, with all the parts such as prepositions, conjunctions, etc. It is free standing and independent of the presenter.
It’s a document application.
A slide functions only as a support or illustration. Bullets must be treated as headlines only containing nouns and verbs.
It’s a visual application.

Submission
In submission of “presentation material” – it is best practice to submit a full report to have all
information approved.

Extract all the “key information” and summarise it. Doing so cuts down unnecessary clutter and
gets to the key messages,
Deliver the key messages. Slides are there only to help “visualise” what presenters
cannot “verbalize”.

3R FUND
• The $8-million 3R Fund was launched on 22 April 2009 by Minister (Environment and Water Resources), Dr Yaacob Ibrahim, to co-fund projects that could reduce the amount of waste disposed.
• Projects that qualified for funding included those involving a redesign of production processes and packaging, as well as projects that dealt with the provision of recycling infrastructure and equipment.A total of 73 applications were received, and 15 projects were selected for implementation. This amounted to a total grant of $4.4 million, and a projected 49,800 tonnes of waste to be recycled.
• The 3R Fund complemented the $20-million Innovation for Environmental Sustainability (IES) Fund, which was set up in 2001 to encourage and assist industries to undertake innovative environmental projects that possessed commercialisation potential and would help to achieve environmental sustainability.
• To date, more than 13 companies have been granted funding support to test-bed new techniques or innovative methods to turn recyclables into marketable materials.

Measures to improve waste minimisation and recycling for businesses
• For businesses, we will strengthen voluntary partnerships. For a start, a second SPA will
be launched in July 2012 with new targets to reduce packaging waste by 6,500 tons
annually, and to bring on board a total of 315 signatories by 2015. A total of 138 signatories
have expressed interest to participate in the second SPA. The first SPA, which commenced
in 2007, achieved a reduction of 7,100 tons of packaging waste with an estimated $14.9
million in savings over a four-year period and had 139 signatories
• Measures targeted specifically at large commercial premises will also come into effect to
enhance the 3Rs. Hotels with more than 200 rooms and shopping malls with net lettable
areas of more than 50,000 square feet, are required by law to report waste data and submit
waste reduction plans (including setting of targets) from 2014. Such a reporting exercise
would help build greater awareness among building managers to improve their premises’
waste management systems.

INCREASED FREQUENCY OF CHECKS AT FOOD OUTLETS• The number of officers conducting inspections increased from 63 in January 2010 to 102 in March 2011.
• The increased manpower had allowed NEA to carry out more frequent inspections of stalls which had poorer food hygiene grades, and at premises where the standards of cleanliness required improvement.
• Currently, hygiene officers conduct an average of 250 inspections daily, as compared to 193 in January 2010.
GREATER PENALTIES FOR FOOD HYGIENE-RELATED OFFENCESSince 1 April 2010, the composition fine for food hygiene-related offences had been increased as detailed in the table below.

Recycling in Condos – Status• Recycling programme launched in 2002
• Only 38% have recycling bins/bags within estate
• Placed recycling bins in public areas : helps cover another 12%
• Continual requests from various residents for recycling facilities in estate
• In 2007:
– Consulted with major stakeholders (MCST, APFM, NC, SISV, etc) in 07 to encourage recycling
– Followed up with letters and reminders to MCST
• Only slight improvement

What is Causing the Climate to Change?What is Causing the Climate to Change?7Enhanced Greenhouse Effect
Relative Contribution of Human-made emissions of GHGs
• Over the last 100 years, there has been a build up of GHG (e.g. CO2).
• Increase in CO2 level has enhanced the Greenhouse Effect by trapping more heat within the atmosphere, contributing to a warmer planet.

a) Fridge : Buy the smallest model refrigerator that meetsyour needs as generally, larger models use more energyto operate
b) Laptop : Consider buying a laptop for your next computerupgrade
c) Water heater : Choose an instantaneous water heater –more energy efficient
d) Thermo-flask : Use a thermo-flask to keep hot water -Electric air-pots cost about $25 a year*
e) Pressure cooker : It consumes less energy and cook faster. It saves up to 2/3 of cooking time and energy usage can be cut by 50-75%
