Responsible Travel

Singapore is a popular but new Island country in South-east Asia that got its freedom after decades of struggle for independence from Malaysia. The government is the largest island country in South-east Asia and is the financial and cultural hub of the world. You will find that the locals are a mix of Chinese and Malaysian cultures because of the predominance. The locals consist of young men and women as the older generations preferred staying in Malaysia.

While visiting the country, you must identify and control your activities accordingly so that you don't cause any harm to the local communities or the environment.

Try to opt for public transports and electronic vehicles like available buses, metro trains, trams, bikes, etc. These vehicles cause comparatively less harm to the environment and are also cost-efficient.

Instead of opting for luxurious 5-star hotels and guesthouses, prefer the ones that follow eco-friendly measures like renewable resources, solar electricity, recyclable products, etc. By doing so, you can keep your carbon footprint minimal during your travel.

Also, prefer buying and using services of local businesses and artists, rather than the international brands. If you want a proper exposure to the local culture, traditions, crafts, and people, then the local businesses will help you in fulfilling the needful.

Respect the Culture

While visiting an Asian country such as Singapore where the people tend to have a conservative mind, and value their culture and traditions more than anyone, you have to be conscious about your actions. The sole reason for this conservativeness is because the people of Singapore have struggled for their freedom for a long time, and they persist in some societal problems. You need to understand them and try not to criticize or comment on them.

Singapore government is severe regarding the quality of tap water; they are annually conducting around 400,000 quality tests on the water supplied to residents. However, there are chances of drought due to excessive use of water. As a tourist, it is your responsibility not to waste the water in any way as much as possible.

Singapore is dependent on four primary sources for the supply of water. First is the imported water from Malaysia, which consists of 40% of Singapore's water. In 1962 these two countries had signed a written agreement in which it was stated that Malaysia would fulfil 40% of the Singapore water's demands till 2061. The second water sources are the reservoirs, Singapore has 17 of them. It used to store water from rain as Singapore experience plenty of rainfall, which is calculated, comes to an average of 167 days out of 365 days. This method is beneficial for farmers as they require a high amount of water for irrigation and other domestic use. Third, is the recycled water- this technique is also known as reclaim water. It is a process that involves the conversion of wastewater into water that can be reused for many purposes, like for watering of plants and agricultural fields.

Singapore is an island covered with sea and experiences plenty of seawater. Due to the high amount of salt in seawater, which makes it unfit to drink. Therefore the desalination process is used to reduce the amount of salt present in the water, which will make it fit for drinking and other use.

Organic Cafés

Organic food is best for health as they do not have any artificial nutrition or polishing in them. Organic cafes are the cafes in which organic food which is sourced locally is served. Singapore has many organic cafes and restaurants. Organic food items are quite famous among the locals on the island for their unique style of presenting and mindblowing tastes.

Some of the trains need to be booked in advance.

Hitchhiking

Hitchhiking is entirely legal and possible in Singapore, but this travelling method is sporadic as Singapore has incredibly low prices for bus or train. If you are an expert hitchhiker, then you can manage to reach Singapore with little to no trouble. It could be possible to get a ride from the centre of the bridge but quite impossible during the office hours because the bridge is full of traffic, and even the drivers are hesitant in picking up hitchhikers cause there is no pedestrian sign on the bridge.

Others

The other means of transport are ferry rides or a private taxis. A private taxi can be a costly means of transportation to reach Singapore as the drivers often overcharge tourists. You must be aware of the pollution that these cars can cause in Singapore before you take one. Though the pollution in Singapore is low, it is one of the primary sources of air pollution. The emissions of smoke and harmful gases from motor vehicles cause a lot of harm to the environment. Being a responsible tourist, you must not contribute and air pollution rather than you you should use a public bus which will cost you a few dollars and is cheaper as compared to a private taxi.

Moving Around

Singapore is a safe country, and moving around will not cause you any trouble unless you don't follow certain safety precautions on your trip.

Walk

The total area of Singapore is 725.7 km², which makes it difficult to discover everything just by walking. Walking can be a good health beneficial option, but it will provide dissatisfaction as you won't be able to reach much of Singapore's sights at one time.

The maintenance of such modes of transportation is less, and they cause little to no harm to the local environment. They create less pollution as they don't use fossil fuels, and there would be no emission of harmful smoke. According to the latest research, it is found that some parts of electric vehicles are made up of recycled materials like water bottles, plastic bags, old car parts, etc. If there will be less emission of harmful substances from a car, this would also affect the health of the people as air pollution, and noise pollution will degrade.
