The question was among those posed by Nanyang Polytechnic (NYP) students to Straits Times environment and science reporter Shabana Begum at an outreach talk on July 3.
At the session, attended by around 350 Polytechnic Foundation Programme students from multiple diplomas, Ms Shabana shared her experience as an environment journalist in Singapore, the pathways to becoming a reporter, and the rewarding and challenging aspects of her job.
Answering the aforementioned question by 17-year-old Chow Zhenyu, an animation, games and visual effects student, Ms Shabana said she "would want to reduce greenhouse emissions, adapt to climate change impacts and find creative ways to grow food to improve Singapore's food security".
She also mentioned how she would encourage more people to recycle to improve the country's domestic recycling rate, which reached 12 per cent in 2023.
