I was invited to the inaugural Green Living 2015 - the eco lifestyle event which is open to the public as well at the Marina Bay Sands Convention Centre over the weekends. This event is positioned as Singapore's first sustainability and design show that focuses on meeting the needs of eco-conscious consumers and businesses as well as raising the awareness to the public on how to adopt an 'eco-lifestyle'.
Green Living 2015 is held in conjunction with The International Green Building Conference (IGBC) 2015, Build Eco Xpo (BEX) Asia and Mostra Convegno Expocomfort (MCE) Asia. The series of events are all part of the Singapore Green Building Week (SGBW) that happens from 31 August to 6 September 2015.

Leaving our mark in celebration of SG50 on the area we think is where we stayed on the colourful Singapore map. We are all in the west area!
Eco-Pledge Wall
Pledging our handprints on the eco-pledge wall at Green Living 2015. We hope to do our part as a contribution to the Singapore's sustainability and green effort.
SPECIAL FEATURES
BCA Green Office Pop-Up Booth
During my first stop, I visited the BCA Green Office Pop-Up booth. It is an interactive 'green office' that offers green tips and benefits for office users, building owners and landlords. They actually put up a music performance by using things we can find in the office but I didn't stay on to watch it.
One of the interesting fact. I agree with the top statement which mentioned that optimise daylight will have a direct effect on productivity, concentration, mood and creativity.
I answered a simple question and got myself a free cup of yogurt, here I vote for what I can do to keep my office green. Having a green office can promote a more efficient workforce and healthier employees so why not?
Eco-Love Machine (ELM)
Recycle a plastic bottle at the Eco-Love Machine and receive a surprise gift out from the machine. It was a packet of fertilizer. This is a good idea of getting rewarded for every little gesture to live green. I think if we have this kind of machine that exchange something useful in return of our empty bottles or cans, people would really use it rather than throwing them in the bins.
OTHER EXHIBITS

Re Arcade - Reliving the Fun
Bf was kept occupied playing games at this corner. In the past, having an arcade at home seems impossible because it's so bulky and took up so much space. Now, Re Arcade address this issue and manage to upcycle old PCs, laptops & gaming consoles into a functional arcade machine which is smaller and cooler to keep at home! Managed to take a photo with Jimmy who is the brainchild of this project.

I had a fun time going round the different exhibits and learning how to be more eco-friendly. Climate change is a very big problem worldwide and affects everyone. If everybody just put in some additional efforts, there's actually a lot we can do for a better environment. Looking forward to their next exhibits which will be bigger and better.
