In Singapore, prior to 1999, local residents had not yet realized, the importance of environmentalism, and simply threw their garbage into collective bins, without sorting them into categories. However, since 1999, after Tzu Chi volunteers, set up the country`s first recycling point, local residents have gradually, developed proper recycling habits. So far, there are 29 recycling points, and over 1,100 recycling volunteers in Singapore, who work in cooperation with local residents, and the government, to ensure a sustainable environment, for the generations to come.
新加坡在1999年以前，當地民眾並不重視回收和環保，都把垃圾直接丟到集中的垃圾槽內，完全不做分類，但1999年慈濟志工設立，新加坡第一個環保點後，民眾開始養成資源分類的好習慣，到目前為止，新加坡共有29個環保點，超過1100名環保志工，共同為下一代打造永續家園。
