Singapore has increased its 2030 solar deployment target to 3 gigawatt-peak (GWp), following the successful achievement of 2 GWp target ahead of schedule, accelerating the transition to cleaner energy by expanding solar deployment across more viable surfaces.

This Earth Month, you and your family can play a meaningful role in shaping a more sustainable future. The 2026 theme, “Our Power, Our Planet,” reminds us that collective action starts with everyday choices, whether it is at home, or at work.

As Singapore’s No. 1 Residential Electricity Retailer, our commitment to sustainability goes beyond Earth Month. Through supporting nationwide efforts like the National Parks Board’s (NParks) #OneMillionTrees Movement, we continue to play our part in building a greener Singapore, while inspiring everyone to do the same.

Here is how you and your family can make a difference this Earth Month.

Immerse Yourself in Nature with Ohmori

Caring for the environment can begin by taking time to reconnect with the world around you, and Sitting with the Sky, a gentle Forest Therapy session by Ohmori, offers a meaningful way to do so. Happening on Sunday, 26 April, from 4.30pm to 7pm at the Singapore Botanic Gardens, this experience invites you to move at your own pace, take in your surroundings, and enjoy the calm of the evening sky.

As you wander among trees of varying shapes and textures, you may notice how each of them leans, stretches, or holds space around you. The walk leads to an open area where the sky stretches wide above, letting you rest your gaze on the clouds and evening hues. Through guided sensory practices and optional sharing, you are encouraged simply to be present—no performance, no expectations, just a gentle connection with nature.

Each session supports NParks’ Give To The Gardens Programme, with 10% of proceeds contributing to the maintenance of the Singapore Botanic Gardens, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Certified Forest Therapy Guide Long Yuan facilitates the sessions, creating a safe, healing space for participants to explore their own relationship with nature.

Grow Your Own Greens with Green Thumb

Gardening is a great way to reconnect with nature while making mindful choices that benefit your home and the environment. Green Thumb offers multiple workshops that give you the chance to learn practical, hands-on skills to cultivate herbs, vegetables, and edible greens right in your own space, all without fertilisers or pesticides.

In these 2 to 2.5-hour sessions, you and your family can turn kitchen scraps into seedlings, make natural fertiliser, and repurpose household items as garden pots. You will also learn to pot and repot plants, treat soil, and maximise limited space to grow more in less room. By nurturing your own plants, your family can enjoy fresh, healthy produce at home while reducing waste and your carbon footprint.

Each workshop includes starter materials and 30 days of follow-up support through a dedicated WhatsApp community of fellow gardening enthusiasts, so you can continue your gardening journey with confidence.

Get Moving for a Cause with Singapore Environment Council (SEC)

For families looking to stay active while supporting a meaningful cause, the Move for Earth Endurance Challenge is a rewarding way to do both.

Organised by SEC, this nationwide challenge turns everyday movement into environmental action. Every kilometre walked, run, cycled, or swum helps raise funds that support environmental education, wildlife and habitat protection, sustainable business practices, and the Singapore Green Label programme.

Getting started is simple: register for free, create your fundraising profile, and raise at least $30 to qualify for the leaderboard. Once set up, you can begin the challenge at your own pace, with activities tracked via the STRAVA app (or synced via Garmin).

To reach your fundraising target quickly, share your fundraising page with friends and family to rally support, and post your journey using #SECMoveForEarthChallenge to inspire others to join.

As you reach personal milestones, you will unlock achievements that recognise both your fundraising efforts and movement, from early achievements to special rewards like the Ollie the Otter plushie.

The challenge runs until 18 May 2026. Join today, track your progress, and make every kilometre count.

Sow Seeds of Change with NParks’ Plant-A-Tree Initiative

With a vision to transform Singapore into a “City in Nature,” NParks has already planted over 832,000 trees as of January 2026 as part of the #OneMillionTrees initiative, steadily progressing towards their goal of greening the nation with one million new trees by 2030. 

This Earth Day, we are proud to renew our pledge with another 250 trees for the next five years. As part of Geneco’s 8th Anniversary celebrations this year, we will be contributing the first batch of 50 trees through our annual Plant-A-Tree initiative. Having already exceeded our initial 250-tree pledge made in 2021 with a total of 450 trees planted, this renewed commitment will help continue expanding Singapore’s green canopy.

Creating a greener future takes all of us, and you can join the movement too. Whether by sponsoring a tree or rolling up your sleeves to plant one, your contribution will help nurture the lush canopy that future generations will enjoy.

You can visit here to find out how you can get involved.

Together, let’s #PowerTheChange by coming together for the place we call home.

As Singapore moves towards its Zero Waste vision under the Singapore Green Plan 2030, the nation aims to increase its overall recycling rate to 70% by 2030, while reducing waste sent to landfill per person by 30%.

With Global Recycling Day on 18 March 2026 happening right in the middle of the March school holidays, there is no better time to turn family downtime into a fun, hands-on adventure in sustainability. From getting creative with upcycling projects to exploring how everyday habits can make a difference, this holiday offers a chance to teach your little ones the joy of caring for the environment—while making memories together.

To mark the occasion, here are three engaging activities to try with your family, each designed to inspire mindful living, spark curiosity, and bring a little eco-friendly fun into your March holidays.

Understand the Impact of Waste at Sustainable Singapore Gallery

Our country has taken a thoughtful approach towards balancing development with environmental stewardship. From managing natural resources to planning green spaces across the island, these efforts have shaped Singapore into the city we know today.

To learn more about this journey, you can bring your family to the Sustainable Singapore Gallery located within Marina Barrage. This interactive space introduces you to our nation’s sustainability story through six themed zones, allowing you and your little ones to explore different topics at your own pace.

Together, you can explore interactive exhibits that introduce climate change, featuring activities that help kids understand their own carbon footprint. Along the way, discover how Singapore secures its water supply, and how greenery, waterways and innovations like solar energy, smart homes and cleaner transport contribute to a more sustainable city. The experience also showcases creative installations made from recycled materials, and concludes with a chance for families to make a meaningful sustainability pledge together.

The gallery is open daily from 9am to 6pm (except Tuesdays), making it an easy educational outing during weekends or school holidays.

Discovering Treasure in Trash with EPIC Upcycling Workshop

If your kids enjoy crafts and getting hands-on, upcycling workshops can be a fun way to spend time together while learning how everyday items can be reused in creative ways.

Led by experienced facilitators, EPIC workshops offer a range of sessions that introduce you and your family to the art of upcycling. Along the way, you will discover imaginative ways to work with materials such as paper, glass, plastic, PVC banners, leather and textiles.

From paper making using recycled magazines and newspapers to crafting papier-mâché sculptures, your little ones can look forward to a variety of activities. They can also transform glass jars into terrariums or soy candles, while plastic bottles can be upcycled into self-watering planters for small plants at home.

Suitable for beginners and DIY enthusiasts alike, these sessions offer a relaxed and engaging environment where you and your children can experiment, create and bring home something made with your own hands.

Explore the range of workshops and reserve your spot here.

Lend a Hand at a Beach Clean-Up with SG Beach Warriors

While recycling and reusing often begin at home, community initiatives also play an important role in caring for the environment. Joining a beach clean-up with SG Beach Warriors allows your family to take that step outdoors, while helping to protect Singapore’s coastal ecosystems.

Guided by the belief that “One Less Trash Is One Less Threat,” this community-led initiative gathers volunteers to remove marine debris while raising awareness about ocean conservation. As you walk along the sand cleaning up, it becomes easier for children to understand how everyday waste can affect marine life.

This month, SG Beach Warriors is hosting cleanup sessions on 22 March and 28 March, welcoming both first-time volunteers and returning participants.

For many families, the experience becomes more than simply clearing debris. It is a chance to spend time outdoors while showing your children how small actions can help protect the natural spaces around them.

Learn more about the initiative here.

Start Today for a Greener Tomorrow

Small choices, when practiced consistently, can lead to meaningful change. Whether it is discovering new ideas, creating something useful from everyday materials or lending a helping hand outdoors, each experience offers a chance for families to build more mindful habits together.

Commemorate this occasion by joining our Facebook and Instagram Giveaway and be one of 10 lucky winners to take home a $30 eCapitaVoucher and a Geneco Green Starter Kit (worth $40) that consists of a foldable umbrella, reusable straw, and grocery net bag.

Together, let’s #PowerTheChange as one to shape a greener future for all.

Chinese New Year is a time to come together, celebrate cherished traditions, and create lasting memories with the family. As a season of renewal, prosperity, and joy, it offers the perfect opportunity to bring new purpose to your family celebrations.

This year, you can enrich these moments by adopting thoughtful traditions that also have a positive impact on the environment. Each intentional choice can transform celebrations into meaningful experiences.

Here are four ways you can welcome the new year with warmth, purpose, and care, alongside local partners who share these values.

Refresh Your Wardrobe with Timeless Style from Sea Apple

Dressing up in new clothes for Chinese New Year is one of the season’s most joyful traditions, symbolising new beginnings and inviting good fortune. This year, you can choose outfits thoughtfully designed to be worn well beyond the visiting season, while reducing unnecessary waste.

Singapore-founded brand, Sea Apple, brings this balance to life with well-designed clothing for you and your little ones. Known for its playful prints and imaginative designs, the brand creates pieces that feel light-hearted yet intentional. Using organic cotton and recycled fibres, each garment is made with comfort, safety, and responsible production in mind.

From modern cheongsams and mandarin-style rompers for little ones, to effortless adult styles that blend tradition with practicality, Sea Apple’s collections transition seamlessly from gatherings to everyday outings.

Explore their collection here and dress your family in clothing designed to be worn, enjoyed, and cherished throughout the year.

Spring Clean with Purpose through ItsRainingRaincoats

A clean, refreshed home often marks the start of Chinese New Year celebrations, and passing on items that are still in good condition is a great way to begin the year with generosity, while letting your spring clean support others instead of adding to landfill.

By donating through ItsRainingRaincoats, a Singapore charity that supports migrant workers and builds connections within the community, your contributions help meet everyday needs while fostering inclusion. From clothing and essentials to household items, each donation plays a role in supporting initiatives that bring people together.

Before donating, you can take a moment to check the accepted items list on their website to ensure your contributions can be put to good use.

Celebrate with Healthy and Eco-Conscious Treats from Delcie’s

Food sits at the heart of Chinese New Year celebrations, bringing families and friends together through shared moments. Choosing treats that are inclusive and purposefully made allows everyone at the table to share in the joy with greater intention.

Delcie’s Desserts and Cakes offers a way to indulge with ease and peace of mind. As Singapore’s leading bakery for health-conscious and allergy-friendly treats, Delcie’s is also proudly a 100% plant-based bakery, creating desserts that cater to diverse dietary needs while reducing their environmental footprint.

Beyond their bakes, Delcie’s is committed to more sustainable practices, from limiting plastic packaging to encouraging customers to bring their own bags and adopt simple zero-waste habits, such as using reusable knives for cake-cutting. Their efforts were recognised at the Honeycombers Sustainability Awards 2024, where Delcie’s was honoured with a Silver Award for sustainable baking.

Bringing a Delcie’s treat to your Chinese New Year gathering is a simple yet meaningful way to show care for your loved ones’ well-being, so everyone, from your little ones to your elderly, can enjoy a sweet moment together.

Explore their wide range of festive delights here, created for every guest at the table.

Give Your Red Packets a Second Life with Our Used Red Packet Recycling Initiative

Giving and receiving red packets is often one of the most anticipated traditions of the Chinese New Year, especially for your little ones. Passed from one generation to the next, these packets carry blessings of good fortune.

When the celebrations come to a close, red packets can continue to contribute in a meaningful way. By choosing to give them a second life, we can keep this cherished tradition alive while supporting Singapore’s vision of being a City in Nature.

Now in its sixth year, our Used Red Packet Recycling Initiative returns as part of our #WhereProsperityBlooms campaign, together with our returning partners, CapitaLand malls, Frasers Property, HDB Malls, PAP Action for Green Towns, SG Recycle and more, following another successful year of collecting over 5,290kg of used and excess red packets.

This year, we are also heartened to welcome new partners, including Lendlease, SAFRA, SingHealth, Suntec City and Takashimaya Department Store, to this growing effort, and we hope you will continue to be part of this meaningful initiative and give your red packets a new lease of life.

With our Used Red Packet Recycling Bins found in over 250 locations across the nation, you can easily drop off your used red packets from now till 31 March 2026. These red packets will be collected by SG Recycle and sent to the paper mill to be recycled into new paper products.

What’s more, you can join our Facebook and Instagram Giveaway for a chance to be one of 10 lucky winners to take home a $28 eCapitaVoucher! Simply share with us which Used Red Packet Recycling Bin location you will be dropping off your red packets in our comments section.

To find out where you can recycle your red packets and more about our campaign, you can visit https://whereprosperityblooms.sg

While you are embracing the joyful spirit, we hope you can take a moment to watch the ‘幸福园’ music video, featuring 怪咖Outcasts. Centred on themes of love, family, and new beginnings, the song lyrics draw parallels between a flourishing garden and a thriving child, both growing best when nurtured with warmth, encouragement, and care.

From our Geneco family to yours, here’s wishing all of you a Happy Chinese New Year!

Together, let’s #PowerTheChange and nurture a better, brighter and beautiful world for many generations to come.

Every new beginning represents an opportunity to grow, learn and flourish. This Chinese New Year, we would like to present the ‘Where Prosperity Blooms’ initiative – a reminder that prosperity is not just about what we have, but about what we can do to empower the next generation to thrive and shape a future filled with hope, wonder and possibilities.

Together with the National Parks Board (NParks) and Marshall Cavendish Education (MCE), we hope to inspire our children to become young stewards of their own journey ahead through these meaningful partnerships.

This year’s red packets are inspired by blossoming flowers, celebrating children as seeds of hope for a greener future. They feature a palette of vibrant botanical hues, each delicately accented with gold detailing representing prosperous years ahead. Each floral motif, with its pop-out design, illustrates how a child can bloom to one’s fullest potential with family togetherness. Within each red packet, printed on 100% recycled paper, you will discover lesser-known facts about the Singapore Herbarium, reinforcing the vital roles that plants, herbaria, and botanists play in understanding plant diversity and conservation for generations to come.

Preserving Our Botanical Heritage for Every Generation

To pave the way forward for the future generations, we are proud to support the Singapore Herbarium through NParks’ registered charity and IPC, Garden City Fund, in its most ambitious digitalisation project.

Established in 1875, the Singapore Herbarium is the second largest herbarium in Southeast Asia and played a pivotal role in the Singapore Botanic Gardens’ recognition as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It houses over 800,000 plant specimens, some more than 230 years old, forming a living record of our natural heritage. These treasures hold immense scientific and cultural value, serving as vital references for research in biodiversity conservation, species discovery and distribution phenology, plant adaptation to climate change, and food security.

Through this project, NParks is transforming centuries of botanical collections into a living digital archive — creating Southeast Asia’s largest digital plant specimen database by 2027. This milestone will make these specimens accessible to everyone – past, present, and future.

The Herbarium Digitalisation process can be viewed at the Herbarium Viewing Gallery, right next to the Herbarium at the Botany Centre, Singapore Botanic Gardens, and is open on weekdays from 9am to 5pm. Admission is free.

Inspiring Tomorrow’s Stewards with the Where Prosperity Blooms Game

Empowering the next generation to lead the way, we are elated to be the Presenter of Marshall Cavendish Education’s International Environmental Coding Competition 2025, which invites young minds aged 7 to 16 from around the world to design environment-centric games inspired by United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 13 Climate Action and 15 Life on Land.

Together with 8-year-old student Ethan Reber, we brought his winning idea to life by co-creating the ‘Where Prosperity Blooms’ Game, built on the belief that thoughtful gestures can help life flourish.

You can stand a chance to win $28 eCapitaVoucher every week from now till 28 February 2026, simply by playing the game, making it a fun activity to enjoy together with your children.

More importantly, each gameplay counts as a pledge towards supporting the Singapore Herbarium. With your participation, we will donate $15,000 to NParks’ Garden City Fund to support the digitalisation efforts.

You can play the game here.
