Green Living @ North West

Making green living practical

Dennis takes the lead in promoting environmental ownership in #OurNorthWest community, from cutting energy use to adopting green living habits.

How he became a Green Champion

When I first joined the North West CDC, I volunteered to serve in the Green Living Standing Committee because I believe we’re all closely connected and have a shared responsibility to build a sustainable and vibrant community for generations to come.

At the ground level and as part of the committee, I helped to shape our sustainability initiatives. Our sustainability programmes have been recognised for their holistic and comprehensive approach at the annual Clean and Green Singapore challenge.
