Sustainable living

Recycling initiatives

• Did you know that over 70% of the average household’s trash can be recycled?
• Recycling bins are available outside your home.
• Collections are scheduled every week.
• Money generated contributes to the community’s income.

Energy efficiency

• Most pedestrian lights and bollards in the community are solar powered.
• Most other lights in the community are LEDs, helping significantly cut down on electricity.

Sustainable landscaping

• Nearly all species planted in your community are well-adapted to dry and arid conditions.
• Most plants don’t need much water and thrive under the full sun, with little shade.
• For irrigation, drip irrigation pipes carrying TSE (treated sewage effluent) are employed.

Paperless communication

We’ve been slowly doing away with traditional paper-based communication, going digital on multiple fronts. Most general notices, announcements, community newsletters and CSF invoices are now sent via email – saving tens of thousands of pages of paper.

How you can contribute:

• Start by fitting LEDs in all your light fittings.
• Check the five-star energy rating every time you buy electrical appliances for your home. Try to pick more energy-efficient products.
• Turn off the main outlet for devices when you’re not using them. All electrical devices consume phantom power when idle.
• Keep your air conditioning at 24 degrees celsius for optimal cooling and efficiency.
• Segregate recyclables like paper, plastic bottles and metal cans and drop them together in the recycling bins outside your home.
