Highlights of the Exhibition
Singapore’s Sustainability Journey
Begin your exploration in Zone A: Red Dot, which delves into the pressing issue of climate change and its specific impacts on Singapore. Interactive screens provide in-depth information on topics like the greenhouse effect, rising sea levels, and carbon emissions. A notable feature is the Climate Chamber, a multi-screen video display that challenges visitors to reflect on their role in combating climate change.
To personalize the learning experience, Zone A offers an interactive quiz that enables visitors to assess their own carbon footprint. This engaging activity encourages self-reflection on individual environmental impacts and promotes awareness of personal contributions to greenhouse gas emissions. Participants receive tailored feedback and practical tips on how to reduce their carbon footprint, fostering a sense of responsibility and empowerment to make sustainable choices in their daily lives.
Water Conservation & Recycling
In Zone B: From The First Drop, the gallery showcases Singapore's transformation from a water-scarce nation to one with a resilient water supply. Visitors can engage with exhibits detailing the country's innovative water management strategies, including the development of NEWater and the Deep Tunnel Sewerage System. Interactive games and displays emphasize the importance of water conservation and the technologies employed to ensure sustainability.
A standout feature in this zone is the life-sized replica of the Deep Tunnel Sewerage System (DTSS), often referred to as the "superhighway" for used water. This massive infrastructure project conveys used water via deep tunnels to centralized treatment plants, optimizing land use and improving water management efficiency. Visitors can peer inside the replica to view augmented reality (AR) videos that demonstrate the system's operation, providing an insightful look into Singapore's cutting-edge approach to used water management.

A prominent feature in this zone is the sliding-wall exhibit that offers a virtual tour of a future smart home. Visitors can interact with various smart appliances and systems designed to optimize energy consumption, providing insights into how technology can contribute to more sustainable living environments.
Interactive Learning Experiences
The gallery is designed to engage visitors of all ages through interactive learning experiences. For instance, in Zone C: A First World Oasis, visitors can learn about Singapore's rich biodiversity and urban greening efforts. Interactive exhibits allow participants to virtually plant trees and understand the importance of flora in urban settings. Such hands-on activities make the learning process both enjoyable and educational.
