We are fortunate to live in a world that already knows the benefits of organic farming. We know that it’s good for our health, that it tastes better, but most importantly we know that the methods used by organic farmers are much less harmful to the earth than industrial farming. The forgotten goal of organic farming. In a report that Fairtrade International...

Journal of a greenie. A city girl's views on the environment and living greener. Esse: All natural skin products. February 15, 2015. When we think of living greener, we always start with the obvious.

Recycle day! – Journal of a greenie

https://journalofagreenie.wordpress.com/2015/02/04/recycle-day

Journal of a greenie. A city girl's views on the environment and living greener. February 4, 2015. Getting from my apartment to the Sea Point recycling depot isn’t my favourite trip. I prefer busing around a city where parking is scarce and expensive, but that doesn’t really work with an overstuffed bag of recyclables. What’s more, this particular trip literally goes straight through the city centre. So today I decided to make the trip worth it and took a walk along the promenade. Pretty.
