Wildlands and Nedbank, partners in a Sustainable Schools Programme, recently visited Chistlehurst Academics and Arts School (Pietermaritzburg). This very special eco-friendly school relies on JoJo tanks for water and solar strip panels and a generator for lighting.
To further ‘green’ their school, they recently chose to barter their entire year’s collection of recyclable waste for a classroom of Green Desks! These desks, made from previously unrecyclable plastic, are assembled at Wildlands’ Midmar Recycling Depot.
Other top recycling schools such as St Johns and St Annes have also chosen to barter their recyclable waste and furthermore, generously donate a classroom of Green Desks to other schools in need.
Jacyn Fanner, spokesman for Chistlehurst, enthused, “The students love them! We are so grateful because they fit so beautifully in our eco-friendly school and they look amazing both in the classrooms and outdoors.”
