Climate change is an issue everywhere, SA included and I personally believe that more needs to be done to correct humanities errors.
I am as much to blame as the next person and definitely am aware of this. So too is Jody Scheckter and 702 apparently.
A new project has been launched by Talk Radio 702 in association with Food & Trees for Africa, Jody Scheckter and Johannesburg City Parks present. This project is called the ‘Greening Soweto Project’.
From the website:
The Greening Soweto Project aims to plant hundreds of thousands of trees to improve the environment of Soweto for its citizens and to ensure it is a place that will welcome all the visitors expected in 2010 for the FIFA World Cup.
Apparently Schecktar (who is an SA living legend as it stands*) has donated 11 000 trees that each cost quite a sum when multiplied by 11 000!
Corporates and individuals are being asked to donate a tree, the former at a minimum of 100 trees. Get on over to the site now, plant a tree and change your carbon footprint it’s your duty!
*Scheckter was the 1979 Formula One World Drivers Champion.
