		<description><![CDATA[Conservationists are questioning Namibia’s plan to cull over 700 wild animals, including hippos, impalas, wildebeest, zebras, and 83 elephants. The environment ministry says the plan is to distribute the meat to people struggling to feed their families amid one of the country’s worst droughts in recent history. But critics suggest the cull is largely a political decision - coming ahead of the November elections - and that the logic behind it is flawed.

		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1446820</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[A study published recently by the British Antarctic Survey raised concerns about the record low levels of sea ice around Antarctica. Scientists found that in 2023 – compared to an average winter – the maximum extent of the Antarctic Sea covered by ice, shrank by over two million square kilometres. It found that these historically low levels were a one-in-2,000-year event without climate change but are four times more likely to occur under its effects. In this week’s Being Green, Professor Marchello Vichi, Director of the Marine and Antarctic Research Centre for Innovation and Sustainability (MARIS), speaks to Glynis Crook about the shocking decline. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Bamboo is the fastest-growing plant on earth, and products made from this grass are highly eco-friendly. Among its many benefits to the environment is the fact that it absorbs twice as much carbon dioxide as trees and generates an impressive amount of oxygen. Glynis Crook caught up with Go Bamboo, a company that imports bamboo toilet paper, kitchen towels, and facial tissues at the recent Organic and Natural Products expo. She spoke to co-founder Nashrad Dass about their products. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There was a standing ovation on Wednesday morning when a landmark deal was agreed on at the end of the United Nations climate summit in Dubai. While it doesn't specifically mention the "phasing-out" of fossil fuels, it does call for parties to contribute to efforts to "transition away" from the use of fossil fuels in energy systems in a way that will achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. But while the COP28 deal is being hailed as an historic step in the right direction, many analysts believe it may not be fast enough to avoid the worst climate change impacts.

In fact, a vegan diet is widely regarded as being better not only for the environment but also for our health. In this week’s edition of Being Green, Glynis Crook visits The Conscious Kitchen vegan restaurant in the CBD and speaks to owner Dana Korstenbroek, about her journey to a more plant-based diet and the do’s and don’ts of veganism.]]></itunes:summary>

In today’s Being Green, Glynis Crook is back at The Conscious Kitchen restaurant learning how to make two simple vegan dishes with its owner, Dana Korstenbroek. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Global warming, combined with the fact that there tend to be fewer shaded areas and more heat-absorbing surfaces in cities, results in a phenomenon known as urban heat islands, which can have a negative impact on our health. But a new modelling study, led by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health published, has found that planting more trees could decrease deaths from higher temperatures in cities by as much as a third.

In this week’s edition of Being Green, Glynis Crook speaks to environmental lawyer, Ernesta Swanepoel, about the good news that it is healing. A United Nations report published this week shows that, thanks to international action, the ozone layer is on track to be fully recovered across most of the world by 2040. ]]></description>

And that while there are alternative biodegradable fabrics, like organic cotton and viscose, currently there isn’t one that has all the performance qualities needed for a swimsuit. As a result, many eco-friendly brands are relying on the next best alternative, fabric made from recycled plastic, including Cape Town based label, Gabrielle Swimwear. In this week’s edition of Being Green, Glynis Crook speaks to its designer and managing director, Gabrielle Kool. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Globally, the agriculture sector is responsible for around one-third of greenhouse gas emissions, and the biggest chunk of that comes from livestock. Many scientists believe eating less meat is an important step to reducing the environmental impact of the methane-rich belches of sheep and cows. So does this mean you have to abandon your favourite burger treat? Not if a Cape Town company has any say in the matter. In this week’s edition of Being Green, Glynis Crook speaks to Brett Thompson, CEO and co-founder of Woodstock-based Mzansi Meat, that earlier year produced Africa’s first cultivated beef burger. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It’s Arbor Month in South Africa, a time when we’re encouraged to plant and conserve trees. Much of the focus each year tends to be on the greening of our cities and towns and the important role trees can play in climate change mitigation. One of the organisations that has risen to the challenge, planting over 200,000 trees in South Africa, Malawi, Tanzania, and Zambia since 2010, is Greenpop. In this week’s edition of Being Green, Glynis Crook speaks to its head of programmes, Zoe Gould-Angelucci, about why the foundation believes the time has come to shift the focus from counting the number of trees planted, to ensuring they have a meaningful impact. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Over the past few years, there has been increasing concern about the number of trees in Cape Town that are being illegally stripped of their bark. Taking the bark off puts the tree at risk of viral or bacterial infections and can ultimately lead to its death. Lobby group, Friends of Table Mountain, recently raised the alarm about the destruction of Table Mountain National Park’s limited indigenous forests. It says the two areas that are most concerning are Newlands Forest and Echo Valley in Kalk Bay. In this week’s edition of Being Green, Glynis Crook speaks to arborist, Francois Krige, about the issue. ]]></description>

South Africa is in fact one of the top 5 global hotspots for these marine animals, which is why it is good to hear that WILDTRUST, along with the government, has launched a new campaign to protect these incredible creatures.

		<description><![CDATA[In this week’s edition of Being Green, Glynis Crook speaks to Stephanie Lamour, founder of the social enterprise, Komani, about their reusable sanitary pads. It’s estimated that it could take between 500 and 800 years for one disposable sanitary towel to decompose on a landfill. This is because they are largely made up of plastic. So when you consider that it’s believed that an average woman uses close to 300 sanitary products per year – that makes a lot of plastic out in the environment. In addition to reusable pads, other eco-friendly alternatives include period pants, menstrual cups and organic pads which have gained popularity in recent years. ]]></description>

This may not sound like the most exciting of projects, but it is a crucial one. The mapping of ecosystems in South Africa, Namibia, Mozambique, and Malawi will help these countries to improve their environmental planning and monitoring of indigenous species and ecosystems. In this week’s edition of Being Green, Glynis Crook speaks to Ghislain Reb, head of the infrastructure and environmental team at the Agence Française de Développement, which is one of the co-sponsors of the project. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[New Zealand has released a draft plan to tax farmers for the methane emissions from their sheep and cattle. The country is home to about 5 million people, and some 10 million cattle and 26 million sheep, and agriculture accounts for about half of its greenhouse gas emissions, mostly in the form of methane. There’s been a lot of criticism of the government’s failure to tackle the issue of emissions from the agricultural sector. Globally, agriculture is responsible for around one-third of greenhouse gas emissions. In this week’s edition of Being Green, Glynis Crook speaks to Christo Van Der Rheede, the executive director of Agri SA which represents the agricultural industry in South Africa, about whether this kind of system would work here. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A recent study, published in the journal Nature, found that one-fifth of the world’s reptiles are threatened with extinction. Scientists examined over 10,000 species and found that 21% of them are critically endangered, endangered, or vulnerable to extinction as defined by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Reptiles include snakes, tortoises and turtles, lizards and chameleons. In this week’s edition of Being Green, Glynis Crook speaks to herpetologist Johan Marais about why this is so alarming and what the status is of reptiles in South Africa. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[International Tea Day is celebrated on 21 May. But did you know that most tea bags contain up to 25% of plastic. Many brands use a non-biodegradable plastic called polypropylene in the heat-sealing process and to help keep the bag in shape when it’s immersed in hot liquid. A recent study by Canadian researchers found that steeping a tea bag in boiling water releases billions of microparticles of plastic into your cup. To find out how to brew an eco-friendly cuppa, Glynis Crook spoke to Mingwei Tsai, the owner of Nigiro Tea Merchants and tea café. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The ongoing plague of brown locusts in parts of the Northern Cape, Western Cape and Eastern Cape Karoo, believed to be the biggest in 25 years, has been a nightmare for farmers. Experts say that in just one day, a small swarm can eat the same amount of food as 35,000 people or damage 100 tonnes of crops across a square kilometre of fields. In this week’s edition of Being Green, Glynis Crook speaks to Laura Standford of the Nairobi-based regenerative agriculture company, The Bug Picture, which has come up with a novel way of dealing with the millions of locusts in a swarm. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In this week’s edition of Being Green, Glynis Crook speaks to Alderman Eddie Andrews, the City’s Deputy Mayor and Mayoral Committee Member for Spatial Planning and Environment, about the annual global City Nature Challenge. This year, over 400 cities are expected to take part in a bid to find out which can gather the most observations of nature, find the most species, and engage the most people. In last year’s edition, Cape Town had the most observations, came second in the number of species identified, but fell short on how many people took part. So, the race is on for this year’s event which takes place from Friday through to Monday and the City is hoping we will bag all three top spots this year. ]]></description>

Unfortunately, as a result of injury, dehydration and hypothermia, some of the little hatchlings wash up on our beaches here in the Western Cape. So, the Two Oceans Aquarium Education Foundation is calling on all Capetonians to help assist with the rescue of these little turtles. In this week’s edition of Being Green, Glynis Crook speaks to the aquarium’s communications manager, Renee Leeuwner, about why they are getting into trouble and what you can do to help.

		<description><![CDATA[The third and final report of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s 6th assessment cycle was published earlier this week. Part 3 finds that, despite warnings, emissions have continued to rise in the last decade, and that only severe cuts will allow the world to avoid climate extremes. In this week’s edition of Being Green, Glynis Crook speaks to UCT professor Brett Cohen, one the lead authors of the latest report, about the finding. Cohen is also one of the directors of The Green House, a sustainability consultancy. ]]></description>

		<itunes:summary><![CDATA[The third and final report of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s 6th assessment cycle was published earlier this week. Part 3 finds that, despite warnings, emissions have continued to rise in the last decade, and that only severe cuts will allow the world to avoid climate extremes. In this week’s edition of Being Green, Glynis Crook speaks to UCT professor Brett Cohen, one the lead authors of the latest report, about the finding. Cohen is also one of the directors of The Green House, a sustainability consultancy.]]></itunes:summary>

		<description><![CDATA[In the Western Cape, more than 40% of all waste delivered to landfills is organic, and as it decomposes, it releases the extremely harmful greenhouse gas, methane. With the first phase of the province’s new Organic Landfill Ban in effect from this year, residents need to start thinking about how to dispose of their food waste in an environmentally friendly way. And for those who live near Sea Point, Constantia, or the Gardens, there is a simple solution with the Ladles of Love’s Feed the Soil programme. In this week’s edition of Being Green, Glynis Crook speaks to the organisation’s founder, Danny Diliberto, about the initiative. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Construction on tech giant Amazon's new Africa headquarters at the River Club site in Observatory has been halted following an interdict by the Cape High Court against developers, Liesbeek Leisure Properties Trust. In her ruling, Deputy Judge President Patricia Goliath recognised the land’s importance as the historic dominion of the Gorinhaiqua nation in pre-colonial times. Building on what many consider sacred land has been the dominant theme in the ongoing controversy over the development. But another element is the fact that it is taking place in an environmentally sensitive area. In this week’s edition of Being Green, Glynis Crook speaks to Dr Kevin Winter of the University of Cape Townʼs Future Water Institute to remind us of the environmental concerns. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Almost 200 of Africa’s most spectacular heritage sites, both natural and cultural, are in danger because of rising sea levels. That’s according to a recent study published in the journal Nature Climate Change which found that they face a severe risk of flooding and erosion over the next 30 years. Scientists mapped out 284 heritage sites recognised, or under consideration, by UNESCO’s World Heritage centre and the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands of International Importance. In this week’s edition of Being Green, Glynis Crook speaks to one of the study’s authors, Dr Nicolas Simpson, a postdoctoral research fellow at the African Climate and Development Initiative at the University of Cape Town. ]]></description>
