Singapore is a country that has the highest per capita carbon footprint in Asia Pacific in 2010, according to the environmental conservation group WWF on Monday (5/3).
Furthermore, they say, Singapore's gross domestic product in 2010 reached $ 40 thousand per capita - among the highest in the Asia Pacific region - but a high income also triggers excessive consumption habits.
The corporate sector and the construction industry also contributed to the city as the largest carbon dioxide producer in the Asia Pacific region.
Detailed figures from various countries in the Asia Pacific region will appear in the WWF report, Asia Footprint Report, which came out in June. Even so, President Yolanda Kakabadse WWF reveals that Singapore occupies the number one on the list.
What is a carbon footprint? The carbon footprint is the total amount of greenhouse gases generated by human activities, usually calculated in a matter of tons of carbon dioxide.
"Every member of the community there, if associated with the size of their country, eating very much food and energy," he said.
"Singapore ... maybe is one example of our society need not emulate his lifestyle."
According to official statistics, Singapore 43.454 kilotons of carbon dioxide produced from burning fossil fuels in 2010. But, according to Kakabadse, Singapore can eliminate excessive carbon footprint by sharing energy-saving technologies that they have on the world.
"Singapore has a tremendous ability to help in the field of technology. Technology for energy efficient technologies for water management, the technology for anything, even for food production that is more environmentally friendly," says Kakabadse.
WWF spokesman Chris Chaplin told AFP that the business sector and industry are responsible for the high carbon footprint.
"The building sector in Singapore accounted for 15 per cent for the country's carbon footprint ... If you look at the amount of construction in progress, very much," he said.
Singapore's Environment Agency said, Singapore is dependent to a fossil fuel because of the size of a very small country limit their ability to switch to alternative energy sources.
China, which is often accused of being a major pollutant in industrial activity, are in the average pollution Asia Pacific, and far below Singapore. But, according to WWF, this result is due to the huge Chinese population than their efforts to reduce the causes of pollution.
