The amount of energy used by an air-con can operate up to 11 fans! Instead of letting the air-con run all day, switch to a fan after a short while. #SaveElectricitySaveMoney

Ensuring good ventilation at home, by keeping your windows and doors open to maximise fresh air intake, reduces the risk of COVID-19 transmission too.

Energy-efficient appliances not only save money, but also the planet. As part of Singapore’s effort to reduce carbon emissions and mitigate climate change, NEA is raising the Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS) of the following appliances from 1 Jan 2022:
- Refrigerators: Two ticks
- Clothes dryers: Two ticks
- Casement and window air-conditioners: Two ticks
- Split-type air-conditioners: MEPS raised by 7% within the two-tick level

Here’s wishing all dads a Happy Father’s Day!

As dine-in gradually resumes from today, let’s do our part in keeping our favourite public dining spaces and our cleaners safe by remembering to #ReturnYourTray, #ClearYourTable and #BinUsedTissues. If we simply get up and walk away, the dirty crockery and food remnants can attract unwanted pests. Our used tissues also carry germs that pose potential health risks to cleaners and other diners.

As we begin dining out again, remember to practise good hygiene, to protect ourselves, other diners, and our cleaners – many of whom are seniors. When you’re done eating, remember to #ClearYourTable, #ReturnYourTray and #BinUsedTissues.

Leaving litter on tables at our public dining places is an offence. NEA is taking an advisory approach in the lead-up to 1 Sep 2021, after which enforcement action will be taken against patrons who fail to heed our officers’ advice. www.nea.gov.sg/media/news/advisories/index/clear-table-as-dine-in-resumes

Here’s what the same area at Queen’s St Hawker Centre looks like in 2016 and 2021. What a dramatic transformation we've seen lately! Better tray return infrastructure and a new cleaning workflow are initiatives we’ve adopted to ensure cleaner and safer public dining places.

Diners and cleaners at #OurHawkerCentres have played a great part in making this system work. So next time you’re dining at #OurHawkerCentres, be part of that change and #ClearYourTable, #ReturnYourTray and #BinUsedTissues to keep our public dining places clean and safe for everyone. Thank You - to our cleaners, fellow diners and all of you, for supporting us! ❤️

Doesn't it feel shiok to have a clean table to enjoy your favourite hawker food? When you're done, don't forget to #ReturnYourTray and #BinUsedTissues so that fellow diners can feel the same shiok.

#ClearYourTable
