Whilst visiting the beautiful city of Cape Town, take this rare opportunity to discover how various South Africans are trying to reduce their carbon footprint. Rather than lapse into complacency many businesses, large and small are taking global warming seriously and fashioning their processes accordingly. Many households are also making a concerted efforts towards an eco-friendly lifestyle.

Visit an environmental centre and participate in an interactive recycling workshop that could include anything from art to computers. Organic gardens have become very popular in a number of communities and genuinely welcome visitors to share in their successes. Visit an organic market or farmers’ market if the trip takes place on a Saturday. .A visit to an eco-village and an institute dedicated to Sustainability concludes the experience. 

Lynedoch eco-village, a socially-mixed community, is a first in SA.
