Lighting • Try to utilize our natural light. Turn off lights in spaces where
natural light is sufficient. • Make it a habit to switch off lights in unoccupied spaces, e.g.
compactor, pantry, toilet areas, etc. • Minimum lighting during lunch time. • If you are the last person who leave your office, please
switch off all the lights.
Computer • Set your computer to energy-saving setting mode. • Make it a habit to shut it off (including the monitor) when
you leave the office. • Avoid setting Computer in “standby mode” as it will
continue draw power even when not in use. • Printers, scanners, and other peripherals can be unplugged
over weekend.

• If you wish to pack food for lunch, avoid using polystyrene. Please use your own reusable container.
WHY? • Polystyrene contains toxic substances styrene and
benzene which are cancer causing. The toxins leach when they come into contact with hot/ warm food or drink, which threaten human health.
• Polystyrene manufacturing process is the 5th largest creator of hazardous waste..
• It is made of petroleum, a non-sustainable resource.
• Polystyrene is not biodegradable,, it takes several decades to hundreds of years for polystyrene to decompose.
SAY NO TO POLYSTYRENE!
