We’ll be publishing them regularly in bite-size snippets. Also, be sure to tune in to 567 CapeTalk or Talk Radio 702 on Sundays between 06h00 and 07h00: Renowned environmental journalist Tim Neary has recorded these tips and will be flighting them during this time slot. Kim also takes care of the Aquarium’s sponsorship portfolio, so we’re doubly impressed!
The excuses are universal: “Too expensive, too complicated, ineffective, pointless, not accessible. I can’t go green.”
So here are some “Don’t over-think it” green tips to get you started.
It doesn’t matter whether you are going green to combat global warming or climate change, or if you are just trying to clean up the planet a bit. Or if your needs are economic rather than moral. These tips will achieve all of the above.
