Choosing the elements that relate most to youths and is beneficial to the environment
Major environmental issues
Climate change caused by energy consumption, fast fashion and transportation emissions
Daily actions that contributes to these issues
Electricity wasting, ride hailing – Grab (transport takes up around 15% of total green house gas emissions) single use plastics (20 million metric tons of plastic litter)
Some potential practical actions youth can take
Cycling or use public transport, save electricity or use clean energy, bring usable bottles, learn how to recycle properly
How this will benefit youths
Save money from transport while improving personal well-being through healthy habits(cycling), better air and weather leads to lesser heat related issue and food security to be better which leads to food cost going down
Bicycle – A greener transportation vehicle that reduces greenhouse gas emissions
Greener transport options such as cycling, public transport and electric vehicles help reduce carbon emissions and air pollution.
By encouraging sustainable mobility, we can lower our environmental impact and create cleaner, healthier and more liveable communities.

At RP, we are committed to embracing sustainability, and our RP Green Plan lays out the roadmap for our sustainability journey.
We have categorised our green goals into four key areas: Campus, Education, Industry, and Community. These pillars serve as our guiding principles, with each initiative aligning with national strategies such as the Singapore Green Plan 2030, GreenGov.SG ↗(opens in new tab), and the larger United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs).
