Once again an article highlighting the pressure on Durban water supplies. The growth of Durban as a city means that Umgeni water is struggling to keep up with demand and ultimately, sadly for the consumer, that is probably going to translate into rising water costs. Fortunately help is at hand! Clevergreen has a range of [...]
A great article highlighting the facts about green building. Operational costs on a green building can be almost half of a normal building. Although at construction, it is around 8 percent more expensive, the reduction in operational cost should cover that difference within 4 years. If you have any interests in water solutions for your [...]
A gripping article from Reuters highlighting the huge problems facing many countries. The water problem is real and especially in South Africa. As a nation, we are using more than we should, and all it takes is one drought and we will be in huge trouble. We are one of the driest countries in the [...]
Over the last week or so there’s been a lot of talk in environmental circles about the new National Carbon Response Policy. Like with anything else in life, one must be cautious not to count one’s chickens before they’re hatched and to realise that the path to a green economy is going to be a [...]
With our very own National Climate Response Policy to be unveiled at COP17, South Africa is making it known that we mean business when it comes to greening ourselves as a country. Let’s hope that this trend continues and that the national policy is implemented correctly and seriously. With this in mind, it is time [...]
Following on from yesterday’s story, that delegates at the COP17 conference will be offered tap water in jugs rather than the environmentally unfriendly bottled water, it transpires that the ICC has been thinking further about its green status than just banning bottled water. It has committed to saving water, energy and disposing of its waste [...]
Bottled water – trendy, convenient but very environmentally unfriendly! What we don’t consider is what happens to all the bottles once discarded…. they fill up landfills and add to the waste problems. Nice to see then that COP17 is supplying their delegates with jugs of water and glasses. If you’re concerned about the environment and [...]
Here at Clevergreen we’re quite pleased about the spotlight green issues have been receiving of late. Seems in the run up to COP17 everyone is trying to get their ducks in a row. We also welcome the National Climate Change Response Policy passed in parliament last week and really hope it will result in measurable [...]
The Clevergreen team were delighted to read that the world’s best fast bowler and South Africa’s favourite son, Dale Steyn, shares the same passion as we do. He is a strong advocate for water conservation, and hopefully his high profile can raise awareness on the current plight of South Africa’s natural water supplies. If you [...]
With annual temperatures rising, plant and animal life is suffering. At Clevergreen, we love our fruit big and juicy and a decent size steak, so stories of shrinking animals due to climate change is concerning. Let’s hope that South Africa’s drive to change the way in which we live can play a small part in [...]
