To find out for themselves how ordinary Singaporeans can help fight climate change by changing their habits, the New family - lecturer Norman New, 40, his wife Lim Li, 40, an adjunct lecturer, their son Nathan, 11, and twin daughters Shania and Shavon, nine - embarked on a week-long eco-friendly challenge.
Their verdict: It was fun, fulfilling and they will be making some of the changes permanent.
