S1E13: A green New Year: Green Pulse Ep 13

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.
