Poisoning, Carcinogens, Heavy Metals and Mining
Heavy Industry, Mining, Smelters are all part of our way of life but they are major polluters and creators of serious health risks. Our economy depends on mining but Mining companies can use methods that are cleaner and more responsible and of less risk to the public. |

The NUCLEAR Energy Debate
There has been much ado regarding the controversial PBMR (Pebble Bed Modular Reactor) and Eskom nuclear reactors planned around South Africa. There is a variety of renewable energy options available for generating power with little to no impact to the environment yet the powers that be are refusing to pay any serious attention to them. |

GM Foods, Crops, Biofuels, Pesticides
Almost nothing we eat nowadays has not been genetically modified in some or other way or sprayed with some or other toxic chemicals. Our human want for making food more attractive to the eye has in turn made it far less nutritious to our bodies. We discuss GM foods and their effects in this forum. We also discuss pesticides, herbicides, poisons and their effects on humans. |

Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa Environmental Issues
This forum discusses developments taking place elsewhere in Africa. Many of these developments can and do affect neighbouring countries. Because of the poor governance of many of these countries their governments fall prey or are bribed by international companies who come to rape their environments for nothing more than profit. The sick populations are merely considered an "allowable risk". |

Golf Courses, Polo Fields and their effects.
It is NO secret that Golf courses and Polo fields employ very intense procedures to keep them all green and pretty all year around all at a great cost to the natural environment of South Africa. Many independent & government surveys are starting to finally confirm this and are starting to see the effects that have been hushed and covered up by this industry for so long. |

Weeds, Invaders and Alien Vegetation
One of the biggest threats to the environment of South Africa (apart from rampant and unplanned developments) is alien vegetation / invader plants. In recent years there has been a big drive by government, municipalities, developers and private landowners to control / combat this problem. Share your views and knowledge with others in this forum. |

Environmental Crime and Justice in South Africa
Environmental Crime is rife in South Africa, from the poacher to the developer environmental laws are transgressed daily by those who think they are above the law. Sadly even some of the officials appointed to protect our environment are also sometimes caught red handed. |

East Cape and Wild Coast of South Africa
The Eastern Cape natural environment and wilderness areas are besieged by the mining industry. From Pondoland to Port Elizabeth, Coega, East London, Richards Bay, The Wild Coast - all are targeted by mainly overseas industrialists to convert from fishing villages to industrial nightmares. Our "unspoilt" wildcoast will soon be a thing of the past. |

| Proposed Golf Courses Developments - Garden Route |
|
|
Lagoon Bay Lifestyle Estate - Glentana
Another very controversial development proposed on a heritage site, one of the oldest farms in the Western Cape. The developers have already gone ahead with some development without even obtaining an approved EIA or any official authorisations. |

Lakes Eco Golf Reserve - Swartvlei
This controversial mega-development proposed for the northern shoreline of Swartvlei along the Garden Route continues to raise eyebrows. The natural environment and critical eco-systems of this area are extremely threatened by such a development. |
