Happy World Environment Day 2020 (5th June)! These are 12 easy eco-friendly tips that can help you change your spending habits on water, energy, groceries, meals and more to save money and protect the environment at the same time.<\/strong><\/p> \n

Rising sea levels, increasing global temperatures, more frequent extreme weather, prolonged droughts, among other observable effects of climate change<\/a> do more than just drive our ecosystems, wildlife and communities to extinction. They also impact the things we value and depend on like water, energy, agriculture and human health.<\/p> \n

Neglecting our environment also comes with a hefty price. From 2010 to 2110, the cumulative cost of climate damage for Malaysia and ASEAN is predicted to be RM40.1 trillion and RM151.0 trillion<\/a> respectively, according to researchers at the University of Malaya and Universiti Teknologi Malaysia. To put it into financial context: Malaysia\u2019s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2019 was RM1.51 trillion<\/a>.<\/p> \n

On a micro level, it\u2019s hard to imagine what we, as individuals, can do to fix a problem of this scale and severity. But humans are more powerful and influential than they think. When we act in unison with others – communities, governments, organizations, cities and schools – we can bring about meaningful and sustainable change.<\/p> \n

This World Environment Day (June 5), we would like to shed light on some of the simple and easy ways you can care for the environment while also saving money, and vice versa. Going green while on a budget may seem intimidating or overwhelming, but you\u2019ll soon realize that these sustainable and eco-friendly habits are easy and practical.<\/p> \n
