Bamboo Straw Girl), is a strong green advocate and has engaged schools, organisations and community groups in the movement against single-use plastics. She was inspired to take individual action in the fight against wasteful consumption after spending time hiking and camping in her late teens.Since their incorporation, our company has provided employment opportunities or supplementary streams of income for at least half a dozen South East Asian artisans. They were the very first "zero-waste lifestyle" store in Singapore even before “zero-waste” became a buzzword! They aim to be as plastic-free and low-impact as we can, from production to point of sale.Pamela Low, Tingkats Pamela is driven to accelerate climate action to benefit profit, people and the planet through technology and innovation. She founded Tingkats when she was an undergrad in 2018 and has since partnered with campus administrators, businesses and organisations to implement strategies that benefit sustainable development. Pamela's work has also been recognised by the Eco-Business Youth A List, Smith School Enterprise and the Environment and HSBC Youth Environmental Award. She believes that businesses can be a force for good and that sustainable development can be both economical and rewarding and continues to prove that with the businesses that she engages with.Location: ArtScience Cinema, Level 4For the full festival line-up, click <a href="http://www.wavesofchangefestival.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">HERE</a>!Please note that there are limited seats to all workshops, talks, audio and film screenings.
