7 March - A great success!


Well, our third event was a great success! We had quite a number of people visiting us on the day. Some enjoying a picnic with the family under the trees around the event, some dancing in front of the stage to Andries Bruyns (aka Godfather Didge) and the UFO's and some snacking on the lovely food thingies at the event. Dont forget the Nia group that also had a group of fans dancing around on the grass. Children ran around with painted faces done by Annarie "the lap pop" and others joined the Earth buddies at our demo station where they learned more about the worm farm. We had a great variety of food products like organic or natural olives, chillies, and pickled veggies, jams, organic vinegars, raw honeys, sweets, muffins, yummy sandwiches, cakes etc. Organic coffee, tea and cooldrink were served to the thirsty people. Other products available were organic composts, ethanol lamps, solar panels, eco baby products, second hand books and toys, natural cleaning agents, recycled scrap metal arts and crafts, raffia products and so much more.

Our recycling station and the E-waste container outside in the parking lot, was again supported by a few people. Thanks so much! We really need more support as we need to get those bins filled up at each event. So come on people start recycling. We need your trash to help keep it out our landfills. As soon as more people start supporting recycling everywhere, the sooner it will get more convenient and easier to recycle near you.

Well, our next event is on the 4th of April and we would love to theme the event as Reduce.Reuse.Recycle. We call on all talented artists to come and sell/promote their recycled arts/crafts/products at this event and show people what can be done with their old stuff or trash that they love to just throw away everyday. Upcycled clothes, arts and crafts, accessories and so much more. We need you!
