Pupils from Blackheath Primary School sacrificed their weekend on 18 May to take part in a cleanup of the Blackheath river canal. about the environmental impact of litter and how this leads to a society with little respect for their living area,” said Denise Green, Corporate Social Investment manager at PenBev. WasteWise is a public education and awareness programme which is dedicated to the prevention of littering, minimisation of waste and the growth of recycling efforts. “WasteWise is thrilled to have PenBev on board for this initiative. It has been an absolute pleasure to work with Blackheath Primary and all the eager students and teachers,” Rodney Leak, Schools co-ordinator for WasteWise said. A “Commit Tree” tree replica was made for the school, allowing all the pupils who participated in the cleanup to imprint their
names. The tree will serve as a reminder of the pledge they took in being environmentally conscious, an initiative encouraged by the City of Cape Town in conjunction with the WasteWise Programme. “It is of vital importance for companies, schools and citizens to care for their surroundings. We ultimately seek to create a culture of environmental awareness and responsibility amongst all communities in the Western Cape to reduce the amount of waste sent to landfill sites,” Rodney said. Upon completion of the cleanup, it was evident that this important message was delivered. The canal was clean and the students had a story to tell their friends and families.

On 18 May, a strong team of 250 eager environmental enthusiasts gathered to show their support for a cleaner, greener community. The team, consisting of Grade 7 pupils, teachers, PenBev employees and local community members took part in a cleanup of the Blackheath river canal. Pupils from Blackheath Primary were given a safety talk on how to collect the litter and the various types of hazardous material which should not be collected. They were accompanied by WasteWise and PenBev. Principal of Blackheath Primary, Quentin Johnson, said: “We are thrilled with the turn-out and appreciate that WasteWise approached our school to educate the learners on why it is important to look after the environment, and very appreciative that PenBev made this possible.” They slipped on gloves and clutched bags used for cleaning the canal of all unsightly litter and waste. The initiative has allowed the learners to excel in environmental education, which they thoroughly enjoyed; allowing them to make a noticeable difference within their community. Blackheath Primary School runs adjacent to the canal area where litter and waste accumulates over time. “We trust the learners can take home what they have learnt today and continue with environmental awareness when faced with litter pollution, and help make our streets a cleaner place to live,” Quentin said. The litter problem in the area is not only unsightly, but also unhygienic for the learners and residents of Blackheath. “This is a great step in fostering clean habits among local residents and the youth. We are delighted to help educate learners
