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.
