Multi-faceted company
Sorry for the inconvenience but we had some technical difficulties lately but I’m pleased to say we are back online! And just in time for another update!
We are still busy with making/gathering more Eco-Bricks so if you want to get involved just give us a shout. So here are our latest numbers:
We have once again received a whole box of EcoBricks, 17 to be exact. That, along with the other 4 EcoBricks that we have we can now add a total of 21 bricks to the tally. We are so fortunate that it keeps coming!
You will also be glad to hear that we have consulted the architect and we started with the rough draft layout of the school. We paced out the wall and marked(or should I say re-marked the area where we are planning to build the EcoBrick arch.
If you want to get involved just let us know via Facebook or visit our Challenge page here for more info.
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.
I am very glad to announce that we have surpassed 300 Eco-bricks. We are currently on 305 bricks. We cannot have done it if it wasn’t for all our donors and supporters.
If you like to get involved, you are more than welcome to visit the Challenge page to learn more information. You can drop off your filled bottles at our partner, Mobivet Animal Hospital.
We are so happy to have received a box full of eco-bricks, 15 in total. But that was just from one person. We got 1 here-and-there, so I am pleased to say that we have received 27 in total since our last update on the 24th of November, so go check out the new numbers on the counters at the Plastic Brick Challenge page. We have almost reached the 300 bottles mark!
Learn how to make them here.
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.
