From CNA:
A new concept that seeks to remove the hassle of installing bulky solar panels and drive down the costs of installation and maintenance is catching on among companies, schools and Housing and Development Board (HDB) flats.
Called “solar leasing”, any organisation can lease solar panels under a 20-year contract with the leasing company taking care of designing, financing, maintaining and operating the solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. The tenants will pay 20 per cent of upfront costs and a monthly flat rate that is not higher than the retail electricity tariff rate.
Edit: The CGS Carnival will be held this weekend at the Meadows at Gardens By The Bay. Check it out.
From CNA: Community engagement is the focus of Clean and Green Singapore (CGS) 2013, which kicks off November 3.
The public can participate in numerous activities, ranging from recycling craft workshops to environmental fashion shows.
New programmes include a hackathon, where programmers and developers brainstorm ideas to build and launch applications that will help the public adopt eco-friendly practices; and OpenIDEO Challenge, which is an online platform to bring the community together to discuss environmental issues.
