03.10.-05.10.2008 Rocking the Daisies Goes Green

Rocking the Daisies, South Africa’s first carbon-neutral music festival, featured a raft of green initiatives to make sure that it makes a minimal impact on the environment. We were participating at this year's event in the newly established Going Green section.
The festival was hosted by Cloof Wine Estate, itself committed to green initiatives and was named a champion in 2006 under the Bio-diversity and Wine Initiative (BWI). This initiative recognises wine farms for the work they do to conserve pristine natural vegetation, rehabilitate previously cultivated areas, and minimise the impact that vineyard and cellar activities have on the environment.

Below are some pictures of the event [Please click on thumbnails to enlarge].

New Innovative Distribution Concept:
In the new year, we will introduce a new distribution concept, mainly for smaller shops or individuals, who would like to promote our products. We are aware of the fact that most shops have limited space. Therefore we will introduce a compact display unit [see photo below], where people can test sample products and get information about the products. You would only keep limited stock and non-stock items can simply be ordered via our online interface. Please click here for more detailed information.

Interested parties can contact Bernhard or Sven on 021- 556 1238 or e-mail info@envirotouch.co.za.
