Zusammenfassung:Join NEA as we relive the journey since our formation on 1 July 2002. "Our Environment - Safeguard, Nurture, Cherish" covers how management of the environment has changed over the last decade, as well as how environmental standards have changed and improved. Hear from the very people who have contributed to Singapore's environmental journey through the in-depth interviews featured. From the familiar hygiene and dengue inspection officers, to the lesser known radiation scientists and weather forecasters - find out how they have kept Singapore clean and green, and how too you can play your part. "Behind this clean, green environment, and keeping it going day to day is the National Environment Agency (NEA). Its officers work tirelessly to control pollution, ensure hygiene in food establishments, make sure the waste we generate is taken care of, prevent dengue outbreaks and provide weather forecasts and air quality readings. They plan and put in place strategies and procedures to safeguard our surroundings. And, taking it one step further, they engage the community and industry to build a Singapore where everyone has a role to play in cherishing the environment. Without the work of these individuals, the environment we know and enjoy today cannot be sustained. For all the work it does, the agency is surprisingly young. It was only in 2002 that the statutory board came into existence. Before that, day-to-day operations to protect and manage the environment fell on the Ministry of the Environment (ENV), now known as the Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources (MEWR). Today, the ministry takes charge of policy-making to ensure long-term environmental sustainability while NEA shoulders the operations of environmental management."
