A new initiative to encourage people to clean their community areas will begin next month. Organised by the Public Hygiene Council, the Sustainable Bright Spot programme will be launched in stages across 12 constituencies. It was one of three fresh efforts announced...

Twelve residents' networks have committed to be part of this programme.

While real cleaners take a day off to rest, residents, along with employees and patrons of 134 McDonald's outlets, 10 parks and three Kopitiam outlets, will clean up after meals or dispose of rubbish in common areas. This network is named Rise - an acronym for the words reach, inspire, synergise and empower. The network comprises 24 non-governmental organisations, student eco groups, uniform groups and public agencies.

The Rise network will also collect data on waste and litter, to map out littering hot spots, major problem areas, as well as the cleanest areas in Singapore.
