Sustainability isn't just a buzzword for CSR publicity. Increasingly, individuals are recognising that their own lifestyle changes can make a difference towards slowing down climate change. One such individual dedicated to helping others become more ethical and sustainable consumers is SMU School of Accountancy alumna Joline Tang, founder of The Sustainability Project—an online information resource and store for zero-waste products. Joline shares how she became a sustainable-living advocate, and some tips she has for individuals who need help getting started on their low- or zero-waste lifestyle.

Being a changemaker is not for the fainthearted—it takes boldness, resilience, empathy and a huge dose of commitment. In this series we pay homage to individuals at SMU who are dedicated to go beyond simply doing good, to advance the cause they believe in and effect a positive change in our world. From environmental issues, healthcare needs to helping the vulnerable, they are innovative problem-solvers who are determined to help communities overcome social issues and to ensure that no one gets left behind. They are the SMU Changemakers.
