One Planet! Help to Heal Her!
Some things don’t just bare repeating, they need repeating. Like the message and call to action in this re-posted, edited, blog. Let’s be part of the many people who are passionately doing something to heal the one, and only, planet we call home.
Environmental guides
“What can I do?” – is a wonderful question we often get asked.
There are many environmental guides these days that can help us to decide what to do – we got over 160 million hits when we did a search for environmental guides on Google!
It is all a bit bewildering but you could start by downloading the City of Cape Town’s Smart Living guide. And, it’s FREE. Tell others about it and perhaps form a group that tackles one or two of the very practical suggestions. There is also the Pick n Pay Foundation’s rather fun “One million acts of Green”..
Our advice
At Gondwana Alive we think there are as many solutions in the world as there are people. So explore what interests you, and take what action you feel is most appropriate in your life. What is fundamentally important, is to take action. It really is amazing what happens when you just get started.

Share what you are learning
It is really wonderful to have so many environmental guides to help us, but we think it would be really useful to share what we are learning as we take action – what works, what doesn’t, why?
So please share your lessons with us and we will in turn share your message with others, so we can learn from each other and work together to help heal our Planet.
