Thank you for your contribution. Of course,the govt has to take care of the plant.Cutting the grass very short is not taking good care of plant.In fact,it i...

SAF is the ultimate wastage Surprised

PRP SG

Yes,you are right.There are pro & con for any idea.

Grass grow tall may look untidy.Of course there are weed growing tall too.Of course.it shouldn't too untidy.The authority concerned should strike a balance between pro-green and neat looking.

Oh dear,one town council said some trees were chopped off most of the branches because mynah birds disturbed the sleeps of the residents.

Can't it calll pest company to trap the birds or call shooters to shoot them?

PRP SG

I've found some grass in 2 HDB estates growing very long.Possibly the govt does listen and take action.I hope it would take action even more boldly.

I saw the ad for keeping environment clean and green. Now here are the ironics:

There is actually the said recycled bins in my estate. However, they have only been there for about one or two weeks before they DISAPPEARED.

I finally saw when it's gone to after at least one week. Apparently someone had pushed it to some ulu ulu place in the void-deck and it's almost spilling with items. It has remained like that since. Nobody has ever pushed it back to place, not to mention collect whatever's in it.

Hmm, so much for keeping it clean and green... If even the local authorities and town council doesn't show much interest in the green act, how do they expect the citizens' mindsets and habits to be positively influenced and changed? Rolling Eyes

btw… simple things like not using plastic bags go a LONG way

PRP SG

One major error for town councils & NPB is growing trees to form hedges.Trees can grow very tall,so the authorities have to prune them regularly.I think they do not use the proper professional for landscaping work.

PRP SG

Charge shoppers 5 cents for each plastic bag is the way to go.I think the govt thinks of pro-business -- the environment can wait.

the Bear SG

btw, you think the gabrament is going to pass a law like that?

can they even pass a law like that?

PRP SG

Yes, they can.It is a question when they will do it.

Kuali Baba SG

Everything it does gets twisted and used against it by some people here. What alternatives are available to us other than charging - quotas? Paper bags? I don't trust the selfish instincts of lots of local shoppers, going by what happened on No Plastic Bag Day over the last few months.

PRP SG

Because the ppl are selfish,that’s why supermarts should charge shoppers for each plastic bag issued.

PRP SG

When should a turf have grass cutting?

Do u think until how long (2 inches or 6 inches)the grass grow up to that it should be cut?

PRP SG

I’m please to see grass of more turf growing longer.My disapointment is the grass in my neighborhood is cut every 2 weeks.

PRP SG

People who own private properties can do their part to pro-green by not cutting their grass too short or too frequently.

PRP SG

No response or no one read?
