Rotary Club of Century City Cape Town Environmental Projects

#Trashbash

A keen sense of community and appreciation towards the Environment is in our Club’s DNA. When it comes to the Environment, RCCCCT has been on a steep learning trajectory - we are proud of what we have achieved … and are excited by what is still to come.

Creating awareness and embarking on strategic environmental projects within our community continues to be our focus. Environmental awareness will always be integrated in everything we do as a club. We believe this to be a golden thread working to hold our moral fibres together.

We have embarked on a powerful Kicking Back on Plastic campaign, as our overarching Environmental project. This plays an integral part in our everyday lives and has a significant reach across all areas that us humans interact with.

Zooming in on the environmental challenges our world faces,  has enabled us to:

  • Partner with well-respected organisations. Some of whom include:
  • Support high-impact and worthy initiatives. Some of which include:
  • Supporting and promoting beach clean-ups (“Trash Bashes”);
  • Coordinating, facilitating and even hosting environmental productions for both youth and adult audiences;
  • Eco-bricking;Promoting World Oceans Day; and
  • Actively participating in the annual Plastic Free July initiative.
  •  Host sensational and inspirational guest speakers, from established and reputable environmentally focused organisations and initiatives, such as:
  • The Rotary “Safe Water” project
  • Environmental and NanoScience Research Group, University of the Western Cape (UWC);
  • 500 Sunsets;
  • Two Oceans Aquarium;
  • H18 Foundation; and
  • Intaka Island.

RCCCCT continues its commitment to taking action and being the word for positive change in our vulnerable environment.

Rotary Club of Century City takes Action on Climate Change

Our very own Club Service and Board Member Stephan Poltner participated in a Global Knowledge Session on Climate Reality Leadership.

The Earth is facing a climate crisis, driven by fossil fuels.

At Climate Reality, we’re here to make urgent action a necessity. In politics. In business. In every aspect of our lives. Everywhere.

Urgent action to cut greenhouse gas emissions and speed the global shift to renewables. Urgent action to halt the Trump Administration’s radical fossil fuel agenda. Urgent action to make world leaders strengthen and honor their Paris Agreement commitments.

Led by former US Vice President Al Gore and CEO and President Ken Berlin, we do it by empowering everyday people to become activists, equipped with the tools, training, and network to fight for solutions and drive change planet-wide.

The result is over 21,000 Climate Reality Leaders mobilizing communities in 154 countries. Branches in 10 critical nations and regions around the Earth. 130 activist chapters (and growing) pushing for practical clean energy policies across the US.

Together, they add up to a powerful movement growing by the day. One by the people. Of the people. For the planet. Join us.
