Multi-faceted company
We are so glad our apple trees are yielding so much fruit and this year it’s indeed something to write home about, indeed an apple overload. But since we cannot eat all of it and since the birds and insects are enjoying themselves way too much, we thought it might be a good idea to share it with the community. So, please do come and help yourself. Please use the link here to message Ida. Or scan the following QR code.
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 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.
As an organ donor, you can make a difference and you do not need to be dead to do so by donating the following while you are alive; some Liver(tissue), Bonemarrow and a Kidney.
By registering for free as an Organ Donor you can help up to 7 people with vital organs (kidney, liver, pancreas, lungs and heart) and up to 50 with tissue donations like corneas, skin, bone and heart valves.
It is of utmost importance to let your family know is you are a donor so that you can help someone with your donations. As there are no age restrictions, all are welcomed (and urged) to register. If you did not have the change to register before you got the chance to register, your family can luckily consent on your behalf.
We also created an event on Facebook so check that out as well and please do not be afraid to start a conversation there.
