@Vodacom Phoned two helplines today and both assured me they would contact me. Obviously they both lied. I now have to wait for some technical person to schedule me. A week later and still waiting for anything concrete (Vodacom: Service request SR210217-216672)

[Richard Downes @richardtdownes]

@Vodacom why is your response and care for #CustomerService non-existent. Had an issue with essential home WiFi for a week now. With no help?

JUST IN—> First images of our innovative cardboard-based packaging solution. We are really excited about being apart of the green movement and being front runners in finding alternatives to non recyclable products.#packagingsolution #product #endplasticpollution

[earthpak @earthpak1]

A sustainable packaging solution using recyclable paper and innovation to allow for freezing (-40°C) and heating (220°C). The first of its kind on the continent.⁣ #packaging #pollutionfree #sustainablepackaging #greenfuture #environment #ecofriendly

Over a year ago billions of tiny plastic pellets spilled into the sea when a container fell from a ship in the port of Durban, South Africa. The pellets, called nurdles, have now been washed up along 1,200km of coastline and are causing a huge threat to areas rich in wildlife.

Put your hand up if you believe #plastic is killing our #earth. Let’s collaborate in finding meaningful ways to go #plasticfree. We are close to releasing an alternative!

The truth behind recovering and #recycling #cardboard is that it works on a global macro basis @procarton #notoplastic #thereisnoplanetb #plasticfree

[earthpak @earthpak1]

We have been asked why we chose #cardboard as a solution for #sustainable packaging instead of #polystyrene. We need to move to #banplastic and get more people to #saynotoplastic.
