Groundbreaking Allotment Party a huge success!

Over 30 people turned up to help Project 90x2030 create an inspirational community vegetable garden for the 10/10/10 Global Work Party yesterday. This was one of over 7,000 work parties accross 188 countries to show global leaders that the climate movement is more diverse and more determined than ever and we simply won't give up until our planet is safe. We spent the day digging holes and trenches, shovelling clay, sifting sand, raking soil and planting, until the heavens opened and we ran for cover.

Climate Change play tours the Eastern Cape

Project 90x2030 has partnered with Cosmos Productions to take the innovative climate change play, Joyce’s Choices, to learners around the Eastern Cape. The show was performed 15 times for around 2 146 high school learners. The play follows Joyce and the environmental choices she makes every day into the future: a hot, hot place where winter ceases to exist and water restrictions are commonplace. The play aims to raise awareness of climate change issues amongst high school learners and educators while inspiring them to take action, to create change in their lives and the lives of others. The play touches on humanity’s attachment to a consumer culture and how this is impacting adversely on our environment.

What we learnt from the Human Polar Bear

Daniel and Olivia went to a talk by Lewis Pugh, the acclaimed environmental campaigner and swimmer extraordinaire. We learnt that sometimes almost drowning can be a good thing. (and that the sea in the North Pole is cold, very very cold)

September: a month worth celebrating

September is World Biodiversity Month, and there is lots to do - including planting a tree for Arbour Day, joining a beach clean-up for World Clean-up Day, or leaving your car at home on World Car-Free day.

“Just because I ride a bicycle doesn’t mean I’m poor”

Can you be a hot-shot radio producer and ride a bicycle instead of driving a fancy Mercedes? Vuyo Sangweni thinks so, and he wants to break the stigma around using bicycles.
