Want Free Green Advice For Your Business?
Green Future Solutions is a Singapore-based business that provides environmental consultancy services to help small and medium enterprises (SMEs) go green. We are planning to develop free case studies on how businesses can reduce their environmental impacts and save costs.
For the green case studies, we are looking for five SMEs in Singapore from the following sectors to participate:
- Commerce
- Engineering
- Food and Drink
- Hospitality and Catering
- Retail
Free consultancy services will be provided to the selected businesses and they will share information on the environmental and cost benefits after implementing the solutions. The consultation and information will be documented as case studies, which will be available for free download on the Green Business Times website to serve as examples for other businesses who want to go green.
We would like to invite your company to participate in the green case studies. This would be a good opportunity to find out how your company can go green and save costs. If you are interested, please contact us by 30 April 2010.

Happy Birthday Singapore!
Wishing everyone Happy National Day! As we celebrate Singapore’s birthday, let us remember that this is our home and it’s our responsibility to make it better and greener.
“This is home truly, where I know I must be
Where my dreams wait for me, where that river always flows
This is home surely, as my senses tell me
This is where I won’t be alone, for this is where I know it’s home”
(From the lyrics of Home, the theme song of the 1998 National Day)
