We’re living in an era where the planet is a ticking time bomb. If we keep doing what we’re doing, stepping sideways, the damage could become messy and irreversible. It’s simple chemistry: less green, more grey.

Singapore’s Green Plan 2030: The New Dawn?

Singapore is rolling out its “Green Plan 2030,” rooted in the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Agenda. But the question is: can we live up to that promise and actually make a difference?

What’s Cooking Next?

For the next couple of months, we’re dropping a steady stream of videos and write‑ups—think GreenHome, a series that invites Belinda Lee to sit down with the people who’re actually making the planet greener: entrepreneurs, activists, and policymakers. They’ll dish out the scoop on recycling, food security, water, electricity, and the ever‑critical carbon footprint.

  • Upcoming episodes will cover everything from how to shred plastic into reusable chunks to how to keep your home’s lights at near-zero energy.
  • Every video ends with a handy “next step” so you can start being a green hero in your own neighborhood.

Why All This Matters

Climate change is the headline issue of the decade. By mixing facts with personal stories, we’re hoping to spark a conversation that cuts across boardrooms, school halls, and coffee shop chats. The goal? Make sure every stakeholder—whether they’re a mayor, a mom, or a manager—has a playbook to act on.
