As from 20 February at 4pm, SABC3 will broadcast a new 26-part series produced and presented by South African journalist / producers, Michelle and Riaan Garforth-Venter, that will educate viewers about green living.
Topics in Greenline will cover the home, garden, food, drink, electrical goods and being eco-aware in the office, plus travel – transport – fashion and skincare. The show has been created with today’s lifestyles in mind produced by South Africans for South African homes.
The Garforth-Venters (self-named “eco warriors’) will reveal the latest information available in the market about green consumerism. They will be joined by former engineer turned successful actor, Luthuli Dlamini who also embraces the green living concept.
Heading up the “Do-It-Green’ team, which is part of the Greenline format, are Riaan Garforth-Venter, South Africa’s very own DIY guru and Max Thongani, the Picasso of paint techniques, who will show viewers step-by-step on how to “Do-It-Green’ (as opposed to Do-It-Yourself) projects such as recycling and how to re-use in and around the home making it safer for the whole family.
Viewers will be educated in an entertaining way on how to live a more sustainable and greener life and at the same time save on monthly budgets in a practical, easy to follow format, which is relevant to South African households.
“Many people want to start living a green life but are confused by the avalanche of information being presented to South African consumers which is very conflicting and many companies mask themselves with a “green exterior’ without being 100% green compliant.’ says Michelle Garforth-Venter.
“Our environment and all the creatures that live within it are dependent on us making responsible development choices. In fact, the future of the human race depends on the decisions we make on this generations “watch’. We only have one planet to call home.’ states Riaan Garforth-Venter.
“We will be doing all the research and ground work on the so called green products out there, thus cutting away all the layers and finding out which products are truly green to the core.’ says Luthuli Dlamini.
Comments Max Thongani, “It’s exciting to be part of the eco-revolution that is spreading across South Africa and passing on the facts that we’ve learnt, over the last few years, to the public who are hungry to learn more about how to save our future.’
