Stunning Sunday Snaps

Franschoek & Stellenbosch, South Africa

On Sunday the 25th of March, 2012, my mom and I decided to take a little trip to Franschoek for the day. I haven't explored that side of the Cape yet, so I was really looking forward to a great day with my mom.

While walking around, my mom spotted this bath that had been re-used and turned into a couch (yes, she has been Glam green Girl trained ;) )

After walking around Franschoek we decided to go for lunch at a place that a friend recommended. Its called Deli CAT Essen and is situated at the Tokara Wine and Olive Farm in Stellenbosch - click here to view their website.

As soon as we parked the car, we knew it was going to be a beautiful lunch

You are surrounded by beautiful views everywhere, what a pleasure, eating a divine lunch and being immersed in the beauty of nature.

Apart from the stunning views, what captured me the most about Tokara, Deli CAT Essen, was their dedication to nature and the environment.

Check out the sculptures below that were made from natural resources

Amazing right?

These jungle gyms for the kiddies really captured me, it teaches the kids that nature can be fun. I love how its made from re-used resources, nothing went to waste, and all the kids had a blast playing on them.

Small changes, its ones like these that lessen the impact on the planet - what do you think?

Inspiring Greenpeace Ads

Some Inspiration from GREENPEACE

I wanted to share some amazing advertisements that I found that were created by Greenpeace. They really make you stop and think about what exactly we are doing to our planet. As I've said before, this blog isn't about being an absolute environmentalist, its about small as well as easy changes that each of us can make in our lives to help lessen the impact we have on our planet. I began this blog as a way of sharing how I was becoming more green and I think some of these pictures will help you understand why it is so important to make conscious decisions when it comes to the fate of our world.

As I've shared in previous posts, The Ocean , I have a deep love for the Ocean so these following pictures tug at my heart. 

The other pictures target deforestation, global warming, and a deep need to protect not only the earth but all those that inhabit our planet

Really makes you think doesn't it?
