    | Did you know the Government...The Government has many pieces of legislation designed to protect the environment, companies are required to abide by these. One such piece of legislation is the ‘Waste Reduction and Recycling Bill 2011’, it sets out guidelines to help reduce the amount of waste produced and recover resources where possible. The bill sets out the preferred order in which waste and resource management options should be considered: 1. REDUCE and AVOID unnecessary resource consumption and waste generation; 2. RE-USE waste resources without further manufacturing; 3. RECYCLE waste resources to make the same or different products; 4. RECOVER waste resources, including the recovery of energy; 5. TREAT waste before disposal, including reducing the hazardous nature of waste; 6. DISPOSE of waste only if there is no viable alternative.It’s interesting to note that the last option should always be disposal and that there are many options available to us all to avoid that option and minimize waste.A Macville Success StoryRecently Macville conducted an audit of our resource usage and uncovered some home truths that were less than satisfactory. So we decided to make a change for the better and set ourselves some challenges to turn things around. One area that we focused on was our need to print, and we wanted to reduce this to save on paper, toner and servicing of the printers and copiers. We set the challenge to reduce our printing by 20% over a 2 month period. This was no easy feat, and in order to achieve this, we had to re-think the way we did business.With new procedures in place at the end of the first two months all costs were down. Our monthly paper consumption went from 599 reams to 479, reducing costs by $477.60. Toner costs dropped from $686 to 548.80 and cost of…

    Noninvasive ventilation is a much needed option for patients in the critical care setting, but prolonged use and multiple comorbidities can lead to pressure of the face and head. Alternating the nasal/oral mask with the full face mask could help decrease the risk of skin breakdown or lessen the severity of wounds that do develop. “A full facial mask has the potential for greater redistribution of pressure because it covers the forehead and a larger area of the cheek/side of face than other masks.” (Schallom et al., 2015, p. 350)…

    Just to give you an idea of how much it hurts our planet, about 40% of all our trash is a paper product. 30% of the timber that is cut down in the United States is used to make paper related objects. But we can do something to change those numbers. Recycle! Every ton of 100% recycled paper saves an estimated 4,100 kilowatt-hours of energy, 7,000 gallons of water and 60 pounds of air pollutants. Also, if every household in the USA replaced just one box of brand new tissue paper with a box of 100% recycled tissue paper we could save 385,000 trees, 140 million gallons of water and 990,000 cubic feet of landfill space. Another way to save some trees is with using a good old fashion…

    She believes that post-independence attempts to Africanise primary institutions of cultural production, while allowing the majority black to elevate its own culture and identity, has worked to strengthen this position. Many Coloured people themselves are perpetuators of racial difference and value Coloured identity above both a Zimbabwean and a continental African one, and have done so by enforcing familiar communal boundaries via residential, social and cultural enclaves. She proposes a reason for this as being the holding on to ideological values (ideas that constitute goals, expectations & actions) of their legal and social status of the past (Ibid, p.5). Mandaza indicates that Coloured identity has represented a false consciousness in which they have lived in a deluded state about their true interests, all be it as a result of the colonial state and a Coloured elite, who he believes foisted their worldview on the community (Raftopoulos B., Mupawenda, A., Mushonga, M., Richardson-Kageler, S. & Chawatama, S., 2003, p.19). Indeed, Coloured people had long back contributed to their own alienation when in 1951, the Coloured and Eurafrican Joint Council requested the blocking of Asians married to coloured women, or anyone with Asian parents, from purchasing homes in Arcadia (a Coloured designated area) even though being relegated to this space worked to defeat any aspirations of being considered European (Seirlis, 2004, p.…
