๐๐๐ฅ๐ ๐ง๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ฅ Siamese AssetJoins the Sustainable Climate Change Reduction Initiative
Siamese Asset is taking part in the CARE THE BEAR project with the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET), inviting everyone to adapt to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, combat global warming and drive towards a low-carbon society, because adaptation is a key factor for sustainability.
With the 6 Cares principles for building behaviours that help reduce global warming, it is one of the projects that raise awareness and change the behaviour of members of organisations or communities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, simply by taking action ourselves in 6 easy ways, as follows:
- Campaign for travelling by public transport or travelling together For example, if we switch to travelling by bus or using the electric train, we can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by as much as 81.44-88.90% compared with using private cars, while several people travelling together in the same car can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by as much as 50-80%.
- Reduce the use of paper and plastic If we are organising a seminar, we may switch from paper or plastic cups to silicone cups, or better still, invite participants to bring their own cups. If items are being handed out, reduce the use of paper or plastic bags to hold them and switch to cloth bags (and reuse them). Alternatively, if their use cannot be avoided, try to reuse those items as much as possible. This alone can greatly reduce greenhouse gases in our daily lives.
- Avoid using foam For example, switch from foam food boxes to reusable tiffin carriers or lunch boxes, or switch to naturally biodegradable materials, of which there are now many new innovations. At the organisational level, if we are hosting an event, we should avoid procuring materials made from foam. Not only will we not be contributing to the problem, but we will also encourage manufacturers to rethink, eliminate what is inappropriate, and move towards sustainability together.
- Reduce energy use from electrical appliances or switch to energy-saving appliances We may be quite familiar with reducing energy use by encouraging one another to switch off lights or unplug unused electrical appliances, or by switching to energy-saving appliances (such as appliances with energy-saving labels). These methods are another good way to reduce energy use, but there is an even better way to reduce energy use, which is to design spaces to suit their use without relying on more energy than necessary.
- Choose materials that can be reused Choosing naturally biodegradable materials or turning unused items into new items also helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions better than constantly buying new goods.
- Reduce waste Take only as much food as you need and finish it all. Cooking 1 kilogram of rice can emit as much as 2.7 kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalent (kgCO2e) of greenhouse gases. If you like eating vegetables such as broccoli, 2 kilograms is equivalent to emitting 2 kgCO2e of greenhouse gases, while if you like eating chicken or pork, emissions are as high as 6.9-12.6 kgCO2e. Knowing this, so that our next meal does not create carbon in vain, we should consume and eat food in moderation, not buy extra that may be left over and become waste, or plan to reduce our meat consumption, because 70% of the world's carbon footprint comes from animal products. In addition, we may reduce our consumption of processed foods or foods with many production steps, because the more steps or production processes involved, the more greenhouse gases are emitted.
The story of ๐ฆ๐ถ๐ฎ๐บ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ ๐๐๐๐ฒ๐ for a sustainable green world does not end here. Stay tuned for our next activity.
Let's work together to protect the environment before it is too late, for our children and grandchildren in the future ๐ฒ๐จโ๐ฉโ๐ง
