Ipoh-born duo, Crystal Lee and Yaw Yi Xin, founded Tiny Steps in May 2018 with the aim to spread environmental awareness and share sustainable innovation ideas to inspire the new generation.
Self-funded and non-profitable, its name, Tiny Steps reflects how sustainability requires all efforts, no matter how small, from the community. Plus, it serves as a motto that great impacts are achieved by taking take small steps with long-term consistency.
“We received a lot of response especially from university students because they are our future. We are very proud to see the youngsters participate and take the initiative to make positive impacts. The public can relate to how our daily lives are interconnected with social issues and environmental affairs. For example, bring your own bags and straws to reduce plastic intake! All these small gestures can make huge impacts,” Crystal explained.
The latest sustainable products are available at Tiny Steps’ website with its proceeds going towards sustainable causes.
Tiny Steps is now gathering like-minded volunteers to coordinate more community activities in the future.
To get involved, readers can call Crystal at 018 572 1398 or Yi Xin at 012 526 8233.
