Did you know that the indigenous succulent plant, spekboom, helps fight climate change by removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and acts like a carbon sponge?
This small-leaved succulent improves the quality of the air we breathe, can absorb between four to 10 tons of carbon per hectare, and is water-wise, super resilient, easy to grow, and can live up to 200 years.
As part of their eco-friendly drive, the nationwide beauty therapy store, Sorbet recently partnered with Curro Waterfall to host a spekboom plant activation at the school on October 28.
Representing Sorbet was Eddie Matladi who addressed the learners about the importance of taking care of our world and looking after nature. “The biggest problem our earth faces is pollution. We need to be proactive if we want to save our planet and it starts with each and every one of us,” Matladi said.
The learners also engaged with the Sorbet team about ways in which people could help save the planet before gathering to plant the spekboom.
The learners thanked the Sorbet team and promised to look after the tree.
