Dreaming of a local staycation with Go green initiative in Singapore? 

One of the best ways to restore the mind, body, and spirit is to renew our connection with nature. Being in nature is a chance to practise gratitude, brought on by a fresh appreciation of the Earth’s resources. At the same time, we should think about lavishing some loving care on our planet too!

Below, the PARKROYAL COLLECTION team shares some earth-friendly local staycation ideas for a short getaway in Singapore.

Prefer being based in the heart of the city? Book your staycation at the newly transformed PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay, Singapore. The moment you set foot in this “Garden-in-a-Hotel,” you’ll be instantly transported into a lush fantasyland, home to over 2,400 trees, scrubs, and groundcovers that function as natural air purifiers! You can enjoy an immersive “treetop walk” on the Sky Bridge to admire the forest canopy, or engage in mindful relaxation in the atrium garden.

Other green initiatives at PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay, Singapore, include moving away from single-use plastics by switching to glass bottles and a filtered water system in every room. You will also be glad to know that the hotel’s personal care products for guests are wrapped in biodegradable packaging. 

What’s more, the hotel’s all-day dining restaurant, Peppermint, centres its menu on sustainable and locally sourced ingredients, and its urban farm supplies 20% of the herbs and vegetables for Peppermint. Peppermint’s food waste is also responsibly handled by a food digester, which converts waste into nutrient water for the garden.

One person's trash can be another's treasure. 

Trash-Sure, a SG Green Plan endorsed sustainability campaign aims to deliver the important message for all of us to be more sustainable through the power of art. As part of this campaign, world-renowned Portuguese street artist Bordalo II and his team have completed a magnificent 10-metre by 7-metre tiger sculpture using trash collected in Singapore, which now sits in front of the Lattice Dome at Bayfront Plaza, Gardens by the Bay. 

Water is a precious resource, and ensuring an adequate water supply is integral for every nation. How do we keep the water from our taps from running out in Singapore—a tiny island with limited catchment areas for natural rainwater? Join this tour to learn more about Singapore’s water challenges, and the herculean efforts that our country has made to maintain sustainability through waste and water management.
