George wins the most Eco-Friendly City in SA

"It is official. George Municipality is the most environmentally friendly local authority in the country after taking the laurels at the Eco-Logic Awards in the division for municipalities." George Herald

One of five finalists, the others being Cape Town, eThekwini, Ekurhuleni and Mossel Bay, the city of George was awarded to top position at the Eco-Logic awards last week in the Cradle of Humankind.

Having lived in 3 of the other finalist cities, it comes at no surprise that the humble town I currently call home is greener than all the rest. There are collaborated efforts from farmers, students and residents of the town to do each ones bit in maintaining an eco-friendly environment as well as spreading awareness of ecological trends and sustainability.
From the unique flora and fauna that is well protected, the efforts to recycle and the leadership efforts in creating a president of conserving our unique natural surrounds, George has really come to the table and held it's own.

These efforts however need to be continued, mantained and improved continuously if we hope to hold onto this title and preserve the green status of our city.

Go George!
