In a landmark initiative aimed at fostering environmental consciousness and community engagement,
Yarona Rustenburg and Unit: Waste Management are proud to announce the launch of the
Collaborative Environmental Education Campaign 2024. This campaign, set to become an annual
event, underscores the urgent need to preserve our planet for future generations in Rustenburg.

Against the backdrop of escalating environmental challenges, the Collaborative Environmental
Education Campaign 2024 seeks to empower individuals and communities with the knowledge and
tools needed to make meaningful contributions towards sustainability.

“At a time when the health of our planet hangs in the balance, it is imperative that we come together
as stewards of the environment,” remarked Theron Rapoo, Unit Manager: Marketing &
Communications at Yarona Rustenburg. “This campaign embodies our collective commitment to
preserving the natural world and inspiring positive change.”
Key highlights of the campaign include:

 Education and Awareness: Through a series of workshops, seminars, and educational
materials, the campaign will raise awareness about critical environmental issues, including
climate change, biodiversity loss, and waste management.

 Community Action: Empowering residents to take concrete steps towards sustainability
through initiatives such as recycling drives, tree planting events, and sustainable living
workshops.

 Partnership and Collaboration: Forge partnerships with local schools, businesses, government
agencies, and community organizations to amplify the campaign’s impact and reach.

 Annual Commitment: The Collaborative Environmental Education Campaign 2024 is just the
beginning. With a commitment to making this an annual event, we aim to foster a culture of
environmental responsibility and stewardship year after year.

“We recognise that the health of our planet is intrinsically linked to the actions of each and every one
of us,” states Reuben Moatshe at the Unit: Waste Management. “By joining forces and pooling our
resources, we can create lasting change and build a more sustainable future.”

The launch of the Collaborative Environmental Education Campaign 2024 represents a significant
milestone in the journey towards a greener, more resilient Rustenburg. It invites residents,
organisations, and institutions to join hands in this vital endeavour and make a tangible difference in
the world around us.
