Mandela Day is all about giving 67 minutes to design the earth a better area. Thousands of activities seize plot every year, but if you’ve left it a bit late, or don’t believe a planned workplace activity, The Glass Recycling Company suggests some easy and practical ideas to aid our environment this Mandela Day! They hope to inspire everyone to hold a moment and give back to the environment.
Here are 7 easy things you can enact this Mandela Day to manufacture SA green again:
- Plant an indigenous tree – Design an effort to green SA the simple way – plant a tree to encourage local wildlife, birds and insects. Consider planting the tree in a community without many trees.
- Find a glass bank and recycle – It’s really easy to find a spot where you can recycle your glass bottles and jars! Visit www.tgrc.co.za to find a recycling bank for your glass – there’s over 4 000 glass banks in South Africa.
- Support a collector – If you don’t gain time to drop off your recycling, be courteous and separate your recyclables from your food waste to aid out the collectors who inspect for recyclables in your rubbish bin each week. You may also want to leave out a pair of gardening gloves to design their work a dinky easier.
- Clean up a spruit, beach or roadside – Converge a group of likeminded individuals to spend a few hours picking up rubbish at a local beach, river course or littered spot in your neighbourhood.
- Return your bottles – Grasp back your returnable glass bottles to your nearest retailer where you can receive a refund. Returnable bottles include certain spirit, soft drink and quart (750ml) beer bottles.
- Support an environmental charity or wildlife rehabilitation organisation – Find a local wildlife rehabilitation centre, environmental charity or environmental education organisation and query if they need volunteers. Though this can be hard work it can be very rewarding.
- Encourage your workplace, complex, school or community centre to apply for a glass bank – If you’re unable to finish any of the above activities during Mandela Month, encourage your friends and family to recycle and contemplate twice about throwing away items that could easily be recycled! You can also encourage your complex, office park or school to apply for a glass bank where the community can recycle here.

Johnson & Johnson’s Classic Crisis Case Study: Ivy Lee may have pioneered crisis communications with the press release and Rockefeller campaign, but Johnson & Johnson perfected it during a 1982 Tylenol recall. When news of Tylenol bottles laced with cyanide created a nationwide panic, many thought J&J’s reputation would never recover. But the company’s stellar response – including national media statements, pulling all Tylenol from shelves, and introducing tamper-resistant seals – earned praise from outlets such as The Washington Post and delivered a rapid post-crisis comeback. Today, Johnson & Johnson’s recall is considered one of the most successful examples of crisis communications. (Source: PR Week)

\”Advertising ministers to the spiritual side of trade. It is great power that has been entrusted to your keeping which charges you with the high responsibility of inspiring and ennobling the commercial world. It is all part of the greater work of the regeneration and redemption of mankind.\” – Calvin Coolidge

Public relations, in this country, is the art of adapting big business to a democracy so that the people have confidence that they are being well served and at the same time the business has freedom to serve them well. – Arthur W. Page
