Our latest blog post is written by none other than Tessa Buhrmann, founder and editor of @RespTraveller, to our minds Africa's leading publication on #responsibletourism. See what she has to say about doing the '#responsibletourism' thing: https://t.co/ZE3LsPjAOi

Great idea! BIG Backpackers in Green Point does that too!

Eeny meany miny mo, why should #singleuseplastic water bottles go? This infographic from the @GreenAllianceUK is a great explainer of the environmental impacts of different #packaging materials. #Refillable water bottles win hands down! @WWFSouthAfrica https://t.co/TjEVW6HAP6

While rising dam levels are cause for celebration, increasing consumption is not. Spare a thought for 2020, 2021 and ... keep saving water #ThinkWaterCT

[City of Cape Town @CityofCT]

Thanks to periodic rainfall over the past few weeks, our dam levels are slowly approaching the 80% mark. Collective water consumption for the past week has increased by 38 million litres per day (m/l per day). Read more: https://t.co/wbFfu6sKV2 #ThinkWaterCT

[The Lilizela Awards @Lilizela_Awards]

It’s incredible to see what the #LilizelaAwards18 has done for establishments in the hospitality industry. There’s no doubt this year’s award ceremony will continue to provide participants a platform to shine. Check out last year’s image gallery: https://t.co/Ec6UGDoab2

It turns out thermal-paper receipts are downright dangerous for you & the🌍. They're not to be used as scrap paper for scribbles, nor put into the #recycling bin. Protect yourself and staff, #refuse to take these nasties in future! #toxic #plastic #BPA https://t.co/2iYZ7r9yII

[Responsible CapeTown @respCPT]

Cape Town dams 65% full after rain from ‘intense’ cold front. Yes, double the % in 2017 is good news! However, keep up those great #watersaving habits. With #climatechange wreaking havoc on 🌍, the next dry spill may be around the corner. https://t.co/g3qqyUYDDT via @memeburn

#waste boxing match - great way to compare products!

[waste_UPRISING @waste_UPRISING]

Welcome to the main event! Now that you have followed our page, it’s time to watch the first “waste” boxing match. On the left we have a plastic roll-on container and on the right, we have an aluminium deodorant spray can. Watch the video to find out who the better contender is.

[Dyer Island Cons. Tr @DyerICT]

The Wave of Change will be a permanent feature at the #CrestAquarium to drive the educational message to consumers about plastic recycling and provide an opportunity to donate via Snapscan to support conservation efforts.

#ThursdayThrowback to my first beach clean up hosted by @WWFSouthAfrica @twygMAG @TheBeachCoopZA @WWFSASSI and @2OceansAquarium I saw first hand what rubbish is sitting in our oceans. Time to change our thinking folks and take better care of the environment

If you're looking for a way to give back on Mandela Day, consider sponsoring R67 towards an underprivileged child's visit to the Two Oceans Aquarium: https://t.co/WoeDPedBYn

[Responsible CapeTown @respCPT]

That's a great offer!

[vandawaterfront @VandAWaterfront]

Is your or a friend’s birthday around the corner? Take a ride on the @CapeWheel and dive into the @2OceansAquarium for free! Just show up with your ID, driver's licence or passport and you're in. Have a happy birthday!

[Responsible CapeTown @respCPT]

If you use #influencers in #socialmedia marketing, you will want to study this new code of conduct. We like the move to increased #transparency in marketing. After all, misleading advertising is a NO-NO in #responsibletourism! @travelopulent @DiBrown5
