Taking One GreenStep at a Time

GreenSteps is a community inspired initiative which aims to help communities evolve towards a low carbon society, with a focus on zero waste, healthy consumption, permaculture development and the rejuvenation of green and natural spaces. Greensteps was the first program under Urban-AX, a community inspired accelerator, which focuses on Low Carbon & Circular Economy Development. Azlan Yaacob, the Founder of Urban-AX, joins us to share how GreenSteps programs - such as the Towards Zero Waste and Coffee2Compst initiatives - are enabling communities in TTDI to easily reduce their carbon footprint through activities like composting, urban farming and more.
