SINGAPORE: The National Environment Agency and the Central Singapore District have started a new initiative to get the community to go green.

The programme, known as Partnership to Activate the Community to Treasure (PACT) the environment, will see them work with establishments like shopping malls to adopt eco-friendly measures.

Another aim is to share ideas on how to be energy efficient, and to reduce, reuse and recycle.

The programme was launched on Saturday afternoon by Deputy Prime Minister Wong Kan Seng at City Square Mall, touted as Singapore's first eco-friendly mall.
