Eeny meany miny mo, why should #singleuseplastic water bottles go? This infographic from the @GreenAllianceUK is a great explainer of the environmental impacts of different #packaging materials. #Refillable water bottles win hands down! @WWFSouthAfrica infrastructurenews.co.za/201…
While rising dam levels are cause for celebration, increasing consumption is not. Spare a thought for 2020, 2021 and ... keep saving water #ThinkWaterCT
Thanks to periodic rainfall over the past few weeks, our dam levels are slowly approaching the 80% mark. Collective water consumption for the past week has increased by 38 million litres per day (m/l per day). Read more: bit.ly/2YI5Uw9 #ThinkWaterCT

It’s incredible to see what the #LilizelaAwards18 has done for establishments in the hospitality industry. There’s no doubt this year’s award ceremony will continue to provide participants a platform to shine. Check out last year’s image gallery: bit.ly/2NRegMq
It turns out thermal-paper receipts are downright dangerous for you & the🌍. They're not to be used as scrap paper for scribbles, nor put into the #recycling bin. Protect yourself and staff, #refuse to take these nasties in future! #toxic #plastic #BPA greenlivingdetective.com/how…
Cape Town dams 65% full after rain from ‘intense’ cold front. Yes, double the % in 2017 is good news! However, keep up those great #watersaving habits. With #climatechange wreaking havoc on 🌍, the next dry spill may be around the corner. go.shr.lc/2M8f12p via @memeburn

The Wave of Change will be a permanent feature at the #CrestAquarium to drive the educational message to consumers about plastic recycling and provide an opportunity to donate via Snapscan to support conservation efforts.

If you're looking for a way to give back on Mandela Day, consider sponsoring R67 towards an underprivileged child's visit to the Two Oceans Aquarium: bit.ly/SponsorAChildTOA
That's a great offer!

Keen to talk about your #plasticfree efforts this #PlasticFreeJuly, or need inspiration for the last stretch? Join the 67-minute #PlasticFreeMzansi Twitter chat, #MandelaDay, 18 Jul, 12:00-1:00pm. @WWFSouthAfrica, @WWFSASSI, @twygMAG, @2OceansAquarium & @KiaJohnson1 co-hosting
If you use #influencers in #socialmedia marketing, you will want to study this new code of conduct. We like the move to increased #transparency in marketing. After all, misleading advertising is a NO-NO in #responsibletourism! @travelopulent @DiBrown5
