This video gives a good summary on the impacts of our increase use of energy as well as what an individual to play a part in reducing our energy consumption. The video mentioned the switching off of lights when not in use, car pooling, lowering down the temperatures of aircon, use of energy saving light bulbs etc. To add on to what is being mentioned, I think it is very important to look out for the energy label of a product when purchasing a new product.
Energy ratings
Look out for the energy ratings in its description or the logo that shows that it is labelled as an energy efficient product. In Singapore, the more energy efficient the product is, the more ticks it has. To know more about the reading of the energy label in Singapore, click here. This is especially useful when buying household appliances that consume a large amount of energy such as the air conditioner and refrigerator.

I can't help but to say that the video is so cute and it is really entertaining for me! I love the part when the point is made that sometimes, riding a bicycle can be a faster mode of transport than cars in the cases of traffic jams. Mentioning about energy saving, I believe that Singaporeans are getting more aware of the ways we can save energy as it coupled by policies and measures rolled out by the government. I think we are on the right track and should keep it up to find more ways to be energy efficient.
