Background information of the organisation:
The Sustainability Project (TSP) is a Singapore-based business which aims to encourage and inspire the adoption of low or zero waste lifestyle in people’s life. This is done through 3 arms – Educate, Transform and Inspire.
Educate - TSP first started off as a blog by Joline (Jo), in June 2017, to share their knowledge and passion towards sustainability. In TSP’s blog, one can find tips on a sustainable lifestyle, chats with other green business owners and other related information to sustainability.
Transform - TSP’s shop was founded in 2018, with the vision is to inspire the global adoption of a sustainable lifestyle. The main purpose of the shop is to be the platform for enabling low or zero waste lifestyle by providing consumers with a wide range of sustainable products that are of high quality and at affordable prices. It is to help everyone transform that knowledge from blog posts and articles out there into action.
The final arm of TSP is to inspire – This category consists of all acts that TSP involves itself in to inspire the next generation to be a change-maker and fight for Mother Earth; beyond the blog and the shop. They have been providing talks, workshops, educational trips so on and so forth to guide people further about how to pursue a low waste or even zero waste lifestyle.
What fascinates us, is that TSP is one of the pioneering businesses in pushing for sustainability in Singapore! A few notable accomplishments include but are not limited to:
Dedicating a percentage of their profits towards environmental projects that are concentrated in Singapore,
being one of the first few sustainability-oriented start-ups,
advocating for waste-free packaging,
and engaging in events such as:
Green & Silver Christmas Dinner for Willing Hearts
- TSP is proud to have been one of the sponsors for the Christmas dinner organised for the elderly beneficiaries of Willing Hearts by TreeDots, MasterChef Zander Ng and Tingkat Heroes on 26 December 2018! This event highlighted the faces of food waste in Singapore and gave back to the elderly beneficiaries with a night of hearty food prepared by MasterChef Singapore winner Zander Ng.
Meat Free For Amazon
- After news broke about the intensifying of anthropogenic forest fires in the Amazon rainforest in August 2019, they found out that one of the key reasons was the increased demand for meat, which in turn encourages deforestation and change of land use for agricultural purposes.
- Hence TSP started a campaign to encourage people to reduce their amount of meat intake! For every meat-free meal Instagram users ate and tagged them with #meatfreeforamazon, we donated $1 to Amazon Watch. Through this, we raised a total of USD104!
Beach Clean-Up
- On 4 August 2019, TSP organized its very first Beach Clean-Up activity at East Coast Park. This saw over 30 participants who spent a Sunday morning removing litter and marine debris from the coast.
- In line with their zero-waste beliefs, TSP brought a few large cardboard boxes instead of using garbage bags and encouraged all participants to bring their own gloves and tongs. They spent about 1.5 hours on the actual clean-up, and after collating the information from participants’ data cards, they realized that foam bits amounted to over 1,500 pieces and made up majority of the type of trash collected, followed by plastic pieces (1,070), straws (709), and cigarette butts (529).
- A continuation of this is seen in their second beach clean-up set on 16 Feb 2020, where they aim to raise funds for natural disasters around the world. A donation will be made by TSP based on the weight of trash collected!
