Temasek Foundation on Tuesday announced the distribution of free sanitiser in Singapore starting April 12. As part of its second #BYOBclean initiative, Temasek Foundation will enable every interested household in Singapore to collect 500ml free, zero alcohol hand sanitiser from automated vending machines.
Residents will need to do their own self-collection at these vending machines, using the QR code in their March/April SP bill or SP account number, a release stated.
“Through this distribution, we hope to remind Singapore residents to stay safe by practising good hand hygiene. Working with our various partners, we believe that Singapore will pull through this challenging time and emerge as a more resilient nation together,” said Lim Boon Heng, Chairman of Temasek.
SINGAPORE - The Covid-19 pandemic saw an extraordinary shift in our lifestyles and travel patterns, as people opted to have food delivered - using huge amounts of plastic in the process - and moved towards using private transport over public. Environmental consequences arising from this shift have brought the issue of sustainability to the fore, and innovators could play a crucial role in providing solutions that will help move the world towards a greener future.
This was a point made by panellists at the launch of The Liveability Challenge 2021 on Friday (Jan 15).
Ms Jessica Cheam, who moderated the panel discussion, told The Straits Times: I think Covid-19 has shown that we need to think long term about building resilience and sustainability in our communities. This crisis is a wake-up call and dress rehearsal for the much bigger climate crisis.
