The SA EnviroChallenge
Goal:
To replace 500 000 water and power wasting
showerheads across
South Africa with
resource-efficient water and power saving units
Benefits:
-
One million South Africans saving money and making a difference
-
Over
one million tonnes of carbon emissions being saved annually
(equivalent to taking 300 000 cars
permanently off the road, or equivalent
to the carbon savings from 400 000 solar
geysers)
-
Over
one million
megaWatt hours saved across South Africa annually
(equivalent to the power produced by
Koeberg in 5 weeks or enough electricity
to power 300 000 average SA homes
-
One million swimming pools of water saved annually (39 billion litres,
sufficient to fill Cape Town's Steenbras
dam)
-
Households
can save
R4000 per year
on soaring utility costs
-
Participating
corporates will be seen as being truly supportive of sustainable
environmental initiatives, simultaneously fulfilling their

social and environmental
obligations

We have created the concept of the
SA EnviroChallenge, having identified the enormous benefits, through simple actions,
that a widespread change in habit can achieve.
We have researched the global market for water and energy-saving devices,
and have sourced what we believe are among the most cost-effective, top-quality
products, appropriate to South Africa.
The
SA EnviroChallenge will promote the widespread replacement
of 500 000 water and power-wasting showerheads across South Africa with highly
efficient units resulting in major benefits to South Africa’s people and the environment.
Click here to see our role in causing climate change.
Here in South Africa, electricity and water are becoming increasingly scarce and
expensive, causing financial hardship and major environmental problems. The national
electricity grid is teetering on the brink. Climate change is beginning to affect everyone.
The
SA EnviroChallenge addresses all these issues. It is about you and me standing
up and saying “Together, we can make a difference”. Proudly South African, giving all
our children the chance of a future.
Every purchase and installation of a water
and power saving eco-showerhead will help to
achieve the goal. Play your part by
participating in the SA
EnviroChallenge.
