Western Cape MEC pleads for change in waste habits ahead of Earth Day
CAPE TOWN - As waste landfills around the Western Cape continue to fill up, environmental affairs and development planning MEC Anton Bredell has called on citizens to do even more to save the environment on annual Earth Day, to be celebrated on April 22.
This year's Earth Day would take place under the theme "Protect our species", and he called on all citizens to be aware of and work together to protect endangered and threatened species. The Western Cape government, in partnership with the national department of environmental affairs, had embarked on the "Good Green Deeds" campaign, which sought to change people’s attitudes and behaviour towards responsible management of waste, keeping their neighbourhood clean, green, and safe.
