Green House Environmental Hub by the Green Volunteers Network "Meanwhile, the Singapore Environment Council said yesterday that it is renovating a house on Ubin to showcase environmentally friendly ideas. Its Environmental Hub, also a short walk from the bumboat jetty, will be powered by solar panels and have flooring made of recycled plastic, said Mr Grant Pereira, head of the council's Green Volunteers Network. Renovations should be completed by February. Mr Pereira said: 'We chose Ubin as it's the last island untouched by urban development.'

It will be for an Environmental Hub, which will feature a permanent exhibition centre. The exhibition will educate island residents and visitors on the need to reduce, reuse and recycle.
