Today, nearly all governments, business leaders and everyday individuals agree that steps must be taken immediately if we hope to halt climate change and ultimately, save the planet from ecological catastrophe.<\/p>\n<p>Our world faces numerous acute threats, including the pollution of the air, water and soil; global warming caused by greenhouse gas emissions and the depletion of the ozone layer; shortages of natural resources; irresponsible waste disposal, and more.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_48315\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-48315\" style=\"width: 1120px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-48315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/GettyImages-1289828741-e1644547259433.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1120\" height=\"700\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-48315\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">By being more thoughtful in our daily actions, we can all help protect the environment. (Main image: Maybank. All others: iStock)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Facing these many challenges may seem daunting. But the fact is, all of us can play a role in solving the world\u2019s problems by making minor but important adjustments to the actions we take and the decisions we make each day.\u00a0By adopting certain \u2018green habits\u2019, we can do our part to help safeguard our planet for future generations.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some of the simple yet impactful things you can do right now to halt and reverse ecological damage.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Water conservation<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Despite the fact that water covers 70% of the planet, just 3% of that is the fresh water we need to nourish people, plants and animals and sustain life on earth. Climate change and pollution are putting the supply of fresh water at risk, and even in developed countries where we are fortunate enough to have ready access to clean water, it\u2019s vital that we protect this precious, life-giving resource.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_48316\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-48316\" style=\"width: 1050px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-48316\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/GettyImages-962203452-e1644547397660.jpg\" alt=\"Water conservation\" width=\"1050\" height=\"700\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-48316\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Simply switching off the tap when brushing teeth or washing hands, you&#8217;ll save water \u2014 every drop of this finite resource counts.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>You can help conserve water by using more efficient appliances, taking shorter showers, installing a low-flow showerhead and taps, turning off the faucet while washing hands or brushing teeth, and always running the washing machine with a full load. These straightforward steps can make a big difference to household water consumption.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Reduce, reuse, recycle<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>As we recycle, we reduce the need to extract and refine raw materials. This cuts back on the environmental damage done by mines, factories and so forth, while lowering the energy they use and the greenhouse gases they emit. Recycling also means less refuse in landfills and fewer CO2 emissions from rubbish incineration.<\/p>\n<p>By recycling waste like glass bottles and jars, aluminium cans, plastics, paper and cardboard, you\u2019re helping conserve the world\u2019s ever-dwindling natural resources and fuels, and significantly easing the pressure greenhouse gases place on the environment.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_48317\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-48317\" style=\"width: 1050px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-48317\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/GettyImages-1325202081-e1644547561743.jpg\" alt=\"Young woman in kitchen\" width=\"1050\" height=\"700\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-48317\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Instead of single-use plastic bottles, cutlery and shopping bags, opt for the environmentally-friendly reusable alternative.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>You can also make a difference by cutting down on the use of disposable plastic products (notably, plastic shopping bags, bottles and single-use cutlery) and donating pre-loved goods to charity rather than simply throwing them away.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Power to change<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>By consciously easing up on energy consumption, you\u2019ll help reduce the amount of fossil fuels burned in order to power transportation and electricity plants, consequently cutting emissions of greenhouse gases.<\/p>\n<p>Here in Singapore, a huge amount of energy is used warding off the tropical heat. But it\u2019s possible to stay cool and environmentally friendly by using fans instead of air conditioners, or keeping the AC to 25\u02da Celsius.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_48319\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-48319\" style=\"width: 2120px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-48319\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/GettyImages-1360151116.jpg\" alt=\"Man installing lights\" width=\"2120\" height=\"1414\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-48319\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">LED bulbs use around 75% less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs and also last far longer.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Use our sun to your advantage by air-drying clothes instead of using a dryer, and at night, light your home with energy-efficient LED bulbs, which consume a fraction of the electricity and last much longer than traditional bulbs (reducing energy use and expenditure).<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Save the planet \u2014 and save money<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The aim of the Maybank Green Pledge is to educate homeowners on easy-to-follow ways to make positive changes in their everyday lives, by committing to recycling, conserving water, and minimising energy use and waste. Those who commit to make these changes by taking the pledge will be eligible for the Green Home Loan.<\/p>\n<p>Customers who take up the Green Pledge and apply for Maybank\u2019s Green Home Loan will be eligible to enjoy interest rate discounts on their home loan. What\u2019s more, for a limited period, they will also receive up to S$2,000 in cash and S$300 in shopping vouchers when they successfully refinance their existing home loan to Maybank by applying online via Myinfo.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_48320\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-48320\" style=\"width: 1049px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-48320\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/GettyImages-904423354-e1644547696972.jpg\" alt=\"Family at home\" width=\"1049\" height=\"700\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-48320\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Enjoy fantastic rewards with Maybank&#8217;s Green Home Loan.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><strong>Values you can bank on<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>\u201cSustainability is one of the bank\u2019s strategic priorities,\u201d says Alan Yet, Maybank Singapore\u2019s head of consumer finance, explaining why the bank has launched these initiatives. \u201cMost of us acknowledge the negative impact of climate change, which is expected to worsen in future,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe time is now for each of us to take action,\u201d he says. \u201cAt Maybank, we hope to play a part by fostering an eco-conscious mindset in homeowners.\u201d Taking the Green Pledge is a fantastic start.<\/p>\n<p><em>Be rewarded for your efforts to preserve the world for future generations, with Maybank Green Loans #ForYou.
