Ditch the cling wrap
Cling wrap is another plastic item that makes life easier, but might not be such good news for the environment. What do you do with the clingwrap after you use it to cover one dish? If your answer is throwing it away then it is time to reconsider greener options and eliminate single-use plastic. That is why we are featuring Foover Covers in our spring shopping guide. Their covers are sustainable and eco-friendly as you can wash them and use them again. They are available in many patterns, shapes and sizes, plus they are reversible, allowing you even more variety in the kitchen.

Say goodbye to flies
The hotter spring weather is the perfect excuse for spending time outdoors and soaking up the sun, lounging around the pool and eating outside. Unfortunately, spring also brings those pesky flies looking to share your lunch. Instead of grabbing the can of insect spray releasing toxic chemicals into the environment, and killing many innocent creatures, why not invest in a nifty repellent fan for your braai area or patio? You see them in shops with food displays. The rotors are made from rubber so won’t cause pain when touched, which makes it safe for little kids too. It is battery-powered (great during loadshedding) or can be plugged in. Get yours from Mantality for R259 by clicking here.
Rhino dung to light the fire
There is nothing better than knowing your firelighters won’t give off any toxic fumes and create further pollution when having a braai with friends and family. Rhino Balls Eco-Firelighters created a wonderful solution – non-toxic, eco-friendly, waterproof firelighters that leave no residue or odour. These firelighters are made from rhino dung and wax and burn for 17 minutes. The great news is that some of the funds from sales will go towards the SANParks Honorary Rangers for projects within various SANParks, so you will do your bit for conservation when making a purchase. Get 48 balls for R210 from www.lighterfornature.com. They also have options made from wood shavings (R147 for 60 balls).
