3 Impassioned Women Who Are Committed To Making A Difference

TAN ZIXI MULTIMEDIA ARTIST

Tell us about your conservation journey.

It started when I first read about the Pacific Garbage Patch in the papers when I was studying abroad. It was incomprehensible and alarming to learn about human waste that’s so callously dumped into the oceans, to the detriment of marine life. It was these emotions that spurred me on to advocating for nature conservation. I understood that change can only come if I play my part.

What is your greatest concern on this front?

Although I wish to help and be a part of the solution, I’m aware that it’s not as easily achieved as advocated. The destruction of our environment occurs on a very large scale; the conservation effort needs to be a collective effort as a whole.

What are three ways that people can do their part?

Buy less, buy better to avoid the “buy and throw away” mentality, and lastly, bring your own bags and containers when you shop because small, simple actions such as these add up and help generate less waste.

What is the one advice that you’d give yourself?

Don’t be too hard on others and adopt a balanced approach when it comes to advocacy, as people may not yet be receptive or empathise with the issues raised in my work.
