Singapore is a country with the highest per capita carbon footprint in Asia Pacific in 2010, according to a statement of environmental conservation group WWF.
Singapore’s gross domestic product in 2010 reached $ 40 per capita, the highest one in Asia Pacific area. But the high income can also cause consumption habits excessively. The Corporate Sector and Construction Industry also contributed to “The Country Town” as the biggest carbon dioxide producer in Asia Pacific area.
WWF President revealed that Singapore had placed first rank in that list. Each society in there, if associated with the size of their country, each very much food and energy. It means that Singapore is a example of society who don’t need to emulated the lifestyle. Woww..what a amazing this news..!!
Building sector in Singapore give carbon footprint for the country, if we look total ongoing development, are very much. Singapore environmental agency said that Singapore highly dependent on fossil energy because size of the country is very small and limiting their ability to change to alternative energy sources.
This phenomenon if we try to compare with our country Indonesia, Singapore doesn’t has forest area while Indonesia is called lungs of the world. But we know that air pollution in Indonesia is higher too. It’s not impossible if Indonesia will be ranked first if our society doesn’t realize to can respect our environment.
In Indonesia, Jakarta and Surabaya are major contributor of pollutants we know. As a metropolitan city, level of industrial and motor vehicle users increase every year. If this continues to happen, the first rank for biggest pollutant in Asia Pacific from Singapore will be changed with Indonesia. But we don’t hope so. We can change our mind set for more appreciate our earth. Singapore, Indonesia and the other country must be more concentrate the environment to support the industrial business. From small thing we can affect the big thing.
It just like use of bicycle for our daily activity, using vehicles wisely, use mass transportation when we go to work can make efficient and decrease the traffic jam, no smoking, using material that can be recycled for the industries, everything that can prevent our earth broken, it must be done. So, we can still pass on the good earth for our children.

Indonesia is the largest air pollution country, but also the largest country’s absorption of pollution because the state is indonesia have vast forrests compared wwith other countries. Indonesia is the backbone of the whole word because it is able to created the largest oxygen. If forrest in Indonesia run out so it is not devoid of oxygen thay can be produced, the world will run out of energy.
i live in the village, and i don't feel something that you called "pollution". then i come to surabaya.
Suddenly my lungs(paru-paru) said, "heegh, heeegh, i'll be better smoke 12 cigarets than breathe in this town", and there is a board that hang outside my nose. It said, "sorry, closed till u leave this town"
