For A Greener Future Webcomic Series

Maya and Adam are at a store checkout when the cashier asks if they want a plastic bag. Maya hesitates before declining, while Adam is surprised, thinking they are free. When the cashier clarifies that they cost 20 sen, Maya reflects on the devastating impact of plastic pollution—images of ocean waste, and an entangled marine turtle flash through her mind. Overcome with emotion, she firmly refuses the plastic bag, leaving Adam startled.

Lydia and Maya eagerly explore a mangrove forest, but Adam scoffs, calling it just "swampy trees." Offended, they remind him of its importance. Suddenly, countless glowing eyes emerge from the shadows, fixating on Adam. Panicked, he kneels, offering fruit in apology. Meanwhile, Lydia admires a family of macaques, while Maya warns Adam that feeding wildlife could make them sick.

In a fast-paced city obsessed with growth, Adam is pleased to see GDP soaring. But Lydia challenges him—is GDP the full picture? Overwhelmed by the crowded streets, they escape to a peaceful park to see Maya, where they finally relax. As Adam unwinds, he reflects on what truly matters. Is success just about numbers, or does it include health, strong communities, and a thriving environment?

Maya stares at her overflowing fridge, feeling overwhelmed by the excess food. As she considers tossing leftovers, she thinks about the overflowing trash bins and landfills filled with rotting food. Feeling guilty but determined, she decided to plan her meals better—and comes up with an idea to share her cooked leftovers with friends.

Maya enters Adam's house and is immediately caught off guard by the freezing temperature—Adam is bundled up in a winter sweater.. Startled, she throws open the windows, letting fresh air in, dramatically waves her arms as if airbending, shocking Adam. As the room warms up naturally, Adam realises that proper ventilation feels better than blasting the air conditioner.

Lydia wakes up to a bright morning but sighs at the sight of a congested street filled with cars. Dreading the traffic, she decides to take the MRT instead. Seated comfortably in a clean, quiet train, she calls Maya to check on her whereabouts. Maya, still stuck in a jam, groans about the endless line of cars, and the frustration of moving at a snail’s pace. Lydia chuckles, enjoying her smooth ride, and playfully tells Maya she should’ve taken the train.

Adam sits in a restaurant, eyeing the plant-based steak on his plate thinking about how he’s up for the meatless Monday challenge. Hesitant but curious, he takes a bite. BOOM! A thunderous revelation strikes! Suddenly, he’s in a state of pure euphoria, overwhelmed by the tenderness, juiciness, and melt-in-your-mouth sensation. Snapping back to reality, he savors each bite, already excited to share his newfound love for plant-based meals with Maya and Lydia.

Adam stares at the pile of waste in frustration, ready to give up on recycling. Sensing his struggle, Maya and Lydia step in, showing him a simple waste-sorting guide on their phone. With their help, Adam sorts everything into the right bins. As he finishes, a proud smile spreads across his face—turns out, recycling isn’t so hard after all!
