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

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

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!
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.

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

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
