SINGAPORE - Money does not grow on trees, but shrubs will on roofs.

As part of a plan to cool the city, the National Parks Board (NParks) and Land Transport Authority (LTA) have started rolling out green-roofed bus stops across the island.

So next time we will see bangala climb up there to trim the bushes? 😂

& in heavy rain, hope no muddy water flowing down...... 😂

I hope someone really know what they are doing.... 😂

Isn't it better to put solar panels so the bus uses less diesel?

Less pollution less global warming.

Ya, next time you will see bus-stop tio cordon off and plant pruning at work signage put up, and you need to stand outside the bus-stop to wait for your bus?! Lol.

In some parts of Singapore, they have replanted the road side kerbs and dividers, with flowering plants.  then remove them when the plants grow into wild grass. Wonder which landscape expert they engage /consult. So, let's wait for a few months and count how much $ they spend.

spend money on planting more shrubs on bus stops for a greener and cooler env.......and on the other hand chopping down all the trees and forest to make way for development of roads/hdb......

just heard the dover forest will be cleared for development....clearing of forest will not be compensated with a plan to plat shrubs on bus stops!! 

what a load of BS hypocrites.....very angry coz my area, they chop down a lot of old huge trees to widen the road....and now i see these type of news...

The sun shining is not the cause of global warming.

The sun shining is very normal.

The reason we have global warming is because the bus is belching out pollution from burning diesel.

[Jamesc]

So I can wear a hat with a patch of grass on it to cool the city is it?

[Jamesc]

So how?

I should put a patch of grass on my MIL car to help cool the city also?

[Jamesc]

Like this we are cooked.

No chance we will avert climate change.

Welcome to 50 degrees C every day.

I stopped eating healthy no point living a long life just to be roasted alive.

Let the fats from Korean bbq, pizza and burgers chock my arteries so I go before it gets too hot.

The birds will naturally poo some tree seeds onto them.  Maybe a big rain tree will grow on them.

Next time if Npark did not schedule regular maintenance and pruning....
