In the commentary, “Green buildings, Singapore’s natural ally for a greener future”, Mackenzie (2017) reported that promoting eco-friendly building will be the solution for a cleaner and sustainable future for Singapore. The report emphasizes the importance of sustainability in which has to control for the future’s outcome. Despite being known as the “Garden City”, the author reported that the high resource consumption of its dense infrastructure is rapidly increasing. This massively affects the number of greenhouse gases and carbon emissions that affect the natural environment.
As a keen supporter of environmental protection, Building Construction Authority (BCA) aims to spread awareness to developers and designers on the benefits of green mark certification. The report also mentioned that the implementation of green initiatives has had huge successes in cutting cost in the long term. The author proved through Asia Square that design is the key factor, thus giving designers and stakeholders the power to lead to a greener future. The author concluded that Singapore understands the importance of a proactive approach to protect the environment and fight climate change.
I do agree with the author on the importance of sustainability for the environment. It highlights that the power for sustainability is made by stakeholders and designers, to promote sustainability through the cost benefit over the environmental benefits.

Dear Jerr, please make sure that you publish the assignments on time. If the dateline is set at 2359, i expect it to be published by then, because i do check. Do not upload your assignment at a later date, then change the publication date. I find that highly unethical.
Take a look at the comments below, and duly improve on your summary.
