SINGAPORE: CapitaLand has launched a new programme to encourage more people to adopt a green lifestyle.

Called "Building a Greener Future", the programme features a range of environmental-friendly initiatives.

For a start, 100,000 re-usable shopping bags will be given out to shoppers through tenants at the 11 CapitaLand Malls.

The bags come with a loyalty programme that rewards shoppers for using the bags, instead of plastic bags.

CapitaLand has also arranged for 168 recycling bins for paper, metal and plastic materials in 20 malls, offices and Ascott serviced residences. - CNA/de
