SINGAPORE: Getting Singaporeans to adopt an eco-friendly lifestyle - that's what the South West CDC and National Environment Agency are doing.

They are starting a campaign which will feature a three month-long reality contest and $3,000 cash prize - in line with the nationwide 10% Energy Challenge.

Residents can participate in the 3M ECO Home Makeover @South West contest from June to September.

The contest will see the certain homes retrofitted with $3,000 worth of eco-friendly gadgets.

And the family which uses the least energy will be the winner.

Registration is open till the end of this month and residents can log on to their
website to fill up the ECO Lifestyle Survey-cum-contest entry form.

Dr Amy Khor, Mayor of South West CDC, said: "In such a high fuel-price environment, this message about being able to reap tangible savings would have to be emphasised more and highlighted more, in order to create more awareness of our energy-saving drive." - CNA/de
