Did you know that Malaysia, with just 5% of Southeast Asia’s population, contributes a staggering 15% of the region’s carbon emissions?
This means that, on average, each person in Malaysia has a larger carbon footprint compared to many of our neighbours. It’s a sobering statistic that highlights the significant impact of our everyday choices on the environment.
But, let’s be honest – going full eco-warrior isn’t exactly a walk in the park.
Some people go all out, ditching single-use plastics and even growing their own veggies, but let’s face it – not everyone has the time or energy for that level of commitment.
But the truth is, while we as consumers might not drastically change the planet’s carbon footprint overnight, the little things we do still matter.
Like switching to energy-saving LED bulbs or opting for locally-grown produce at the market. It might seem incredibly cilché, but these small efforts really do add up over time.
Reducing carbon emissions is a team effort.
Oil and gas companies produce fossil fuels, but it’s consumers, households, and businesses that drive demand and burn these fuels, generating carbon dioxide.
Single-use cups are a prime example of this: their production relies on fossil fuel-derived materials, and transporting them further increases carbon emissions.
While companies must be held accountable, we can help by making smarter choices, like using reusable bags and bringing your own cup for coffee runs.
