SINGAPORE - Social entrepreneur Anthea Ong gave up her car in 2010 after 20 years of driving to reduce her carbon footprint. In going green, she also became a vegan, avoided using plastic bags and stopped using leather products altogether.
So for the environmentalist, joining an Antarctica expedition to advocate climate change was a dream come true. On Tuesday (Feb 27), the 49-year-old will set off from Argentina with two other Singaporeans as part of a 100-strong team from around the world to raise awareness about climate change in the icy South Pole.
