Multi-faceted company
We are so happy that people are active participants in this challenge, and to prove we are not just accepting EcoBricks but also make them we have 5 more bottles to add to the count. Five might not sound like a lot but if you are an active stuffer you will know how much plastic a 2-litre bottle can take and it’s not that easy to fill it up if you pack it tightly. Since our last update, we have also received 25 bottles from you, the public.
See below the new count:
We started planning on the entrance of the school, which for those of you who don’t know will be an eco-arch built out of all the Eco-bricks that were made and donated by you, the community that cares enough to make a difference in this world. We have measured out and traced our steps trying to best make use of the Eco-bricks. Below are some of the photos we took while we were planning. If you still need to donate your bricks please get in touch with us, swing by the challenge page (yes the challenge is still going).
See, we didn’t forget and surely didn’t waste all of those donations, it’s just a long road. We are doing things slowly, but we believe good things take time. So please do not stop with all your great help in making the Eco-arch a reality. We can never have too many bricks, see here how many we currently have. If we finish the arch and we have left they will go into making playground objects or a tactile wall, anything to make our world a better place by using all of your donations. So please don’t stop! If you need bottles we have collected a lot we need help to fill them all. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to make them.
Hi, just want to update everyone with regards to the Eco-Brick numbers. If you haven’t seen we are currently standing on 319. It’s been a rough time for all but I want to reassure everyone that we still need your bricks. We have not forgotten about you and we hope you haven’t forgotten about us. Even though the numbers are rising slowly, we don’t believe it is enough. So challenge your friends, company or even your siblings to see who can contribute more. If you are unsure how to make them here is our step-by-step guide.
See the latest numbers below.
We are so happy that more and more people are getting involved with out
EcoBrick Challenge. We have counted the new bottles and what a whopper of bricks! I have updated the counters, if you have not seen yet have a look below.
If you still want to get involved you are more then welcome to, just follow the easy steps on the Challenge page and drop them off at our partner Mobivet Animal hospital. If you want to become a drop-off point too, you are more then welcome to let us know as well! We appreciate everyone’s contribution to save our home, Earth.
We are so glad to update our counters on the Challenge page with 8 more filled bottles, so now there are 127 bottles in total with the public counter almost reaching our own amount of EcoBricks made.
Remember you can always join us, by stopping at MobiVet Animal Hospital and picking up some empty 2litre bottles to fill up. Swing by our Challenge page to see how to make your very own EcoBricks. If you would like to donate your hard work, you can also drop them off at MobiVet (486 Cliff Ave. Waterkloof Ridge, 0181). We are so glad, so many people have joined us in this project.
We are pleased to be able to update our counters, we have increased our total number of EcoBricks created to 119. With the 12 bottles created from MobiVet waste and 2 made from personal waste. For those who don’t know what efforts go into making these EcoBricks we both envy and pity you. Envy for the tight muscles that aren’t restricting the movements of your arms and hands and pity since you don’t see the change you are making in the world. I am not talking about ‘ending world hunger’ or ‘creating world peace’, just the small change in and around the house. The knowledge that your unrecyclable waste in not ending up in rivers or the final destination the ocean.
More EcoBricks can help to lower the amount of unrecycled waste that ends up on places where these waste should never be, these include local landfills and of course the ocean.
I know that it might not be possible for all to help or be part of the change, but for those who are we are thankful and for those who cannot, we thank for taking the time to share the challenge or just even an update like this. We are grateful for everybody involved and for those who would like to get involved, make sure to swing by our Facebook page, the Challenge page or just hang around our post page right here on the online home of MBP.
More EcoBricks are always welcomed. MobiVet Animal Hospital, situated in Waterkloof Ridge, has empty 2litre bottles if you need any and they also agreed to be a delivery point if you have any filled bottles that you want to donate.
Just this morning I received this photo.
I am so glad we got 19 bottles, filled. This is a great way for Clinics and of course anyone to get rid of their unrecyclable waste.
If you want to get involved, you can head over to the event on our Events page on Facebook to see more information regarding this event. Also swing by our PlasticBrick Challenge page to see how you can make it in just a few simple steps.
We all know kids can be a handful, especially when they feel bored. Well maybe you can use this poster to encourage your kids to keep active at times when they feel bored.
You can always keep the kids busy with our eco bricks challenge, please visit our Challenge page for more info.
