Help Save the Planet One Click at a Time With These Eco-Friendly Groups in Singapore

Tagged as the “Garden City,” Singapore is brimming with attractions that will make you feel closer to nature. From Changi airport’s ambitious manmade waterfall to a slew of green spaces and parks, it is safe to say that Singapore is worthy of the said moniker. Behind the buzz that these eco-friendly spaces have been generating is a government with resolute steps to enforce its green initiatives. Singapore recently unveiled the “Green Plan 2030,” which targets to achieve long-term net zero emissions over the next decade.

However, taking part in something as broad and big as sustainability causes can be intimidating, especially for starters. But thanks to social media, it is now easy to connect with individuals who share the same vision for our beloved plant. To get you clued in, here are some sustainability and eco-friendly groups in Singapore you can join on social media.

Nature Society (Singapore)

Formerly known as the Singapore arm of the Malayan Nature Society, Nature Society (Singapore) is committed to the preservation of the Lion City’s natural heritage. Most of the group’s initiatives are announced on Facebook where it has more than 20,000 followers. As of this writing, Nature Society is offering a 139-page publication bundle in commemoration of the 10th anniversary of the Rail Corridor. It features aerial shots, maps, and an overview of the importance of the Rail Corridor along its main N-S line and the Old Jurong Line from an ecological perspective.

People’s Movement to Stop Haze (PM Haze)

This eco-friendly group in Singapore came into life in response to the massive haze that enveloped Singapore in 2013. According to its Facebook page, the group wants to “empower people with the knowledge means and values to drive a global movement to stop haze.” One of its advocacies is the switch to sustainable palm oil, which it said is made of “responsible companies [that] do not engage in practices such as burning and deforestation.” The group is open to volunteers for its outreach, engagement, and research drives.
