Green Pulse Ep 13: A green New Year

11:52 mins

Synopsis: Green Pulse is an environmental podcast series at The Straits Times which analyses the beat of the changing environment, from biodiversity conservation to climate change. 

This month, ST’s environment correspondent Audrey Tan (@audreytrp) chats with environmental studies undergraduate Woo Qiyun and sustainability champion Farah Sanwari on environmentally-friendly resolutions for the new year.

The year 2019 marked Singapore’ Year Towards Zero Waste, a year-long campaign that aimed to get people to be more conscious about the amount of waste they produce. In August, the government also announced a new 2030 target of sending about one-third, or 30 per cent, less waste to Semakau Landfill in a bid to help the Republic’s one and only offshore landfill last longer than the projected 2035. 

But what is the link between climate change and waste, and what you can do to waste not, want not. Tune in for tips in this episode.
