South Africa is still grappling with the issue of providing water to all citizens, however if urgent steps are not taken to slow global warming there could be little water left to supply. We tend to think of global warming as a foreign thing that people in lands far away will have to deal with. [...]
There’s no getting around it, life without running water must be incredibly difficult. As water becomes scarcer and more costly, the scenario becomes more and more likely. Lessen your reliance on the Municipal water supply by investing in some of Clevergreen’s water solutions. Not only will you be the envy of your neighbours during a [...]
A really positive element of the COP17 conference is the media coverage that the environment and green issues are getting in the run up to the event. Hopefully this will result in a change in the mindset of all South Africans. We need to take the bull by the horns, get out there and make [...]

The spectacle of a large ship on the beach brought in visitors from far and wide, but of course also worried many – the [...]
We harp on about climate change and the environment with very little awareness and understanding of how our lives will be directly impacted by global warming. This very interesting (and rather alarming) article presents the South African picture – how will climate change affect you and I… and it’s not a pretty picture! If you [...]
