How green is your environment?
S
outh Africa has been on the back burner for a number of years when it comes to going green, in comparison to the rest of the world. Recent drives for renewable energy, carbon footprint reduction and healthier living have promoted South Africa to the Going Green playing fields. However, lack of understanding and personal sentiment towards environmentalism A.K.A Going green leaves a lot to be desired. A recently published Business Day article, emphasized the fact that “In many parts of Africa, “going green” is translated as regression and it is associated with the peasantry. So the question we put to you is, do you feel the same way? If not, what are you doing about it? Or do you know how to go about making a difference? Above all the obvious Green initiatives widely advocated by those in the know, Pest Control is commonly overlooked. Pest control refers to the regulation or management of a species defined as a pest, usually because it is perceived to be detrimental to a person’s health, the ecology or the economy. (Wikipedia definitions)… How ironic is that? How often do we haul out that canister from under the kitchen sink and feel like “Clint Eastwood in Dirty Harry” blasting everything in sight to oblivion. The mentality of; the more you spray the quicker they die creeps in. This is “PEST CONTROL”! Have you ever stopped to consider the potential side effects? Even better have you even taken the time to read what is written on the can? Do you realize the damage you doing to your health, the ecology and the economy?
Ever tossed rodent bait up into the roof, or even better out in the garden without thinking of the what if’s? What if the rodent eats the poison and dies in the roof or cavity wall? are you going to let it rot, or are you going to get up there and hopefully find it and get rid of it? What if a cat or dog eats it, or even worse a child, ever think of hospital bills…? Think about it, when last did you see a pesticide/poison advertised on TV.? Ever thought why?
