“We strive to educate, enable, encourage and inspire individuals, as well as uplift impoverished communities by creating income-generating opportunities and skills development in the recycling sector.”

Moreover, he puts forward that recycling is environment friendly and provides opportunities for community and entrepreneurial development. In the past 20 years, South Africa’s carbon footprint has also declined, owing to the lightweighting of glass,” he asserts. “Some of the most notable advantages of recycling can be seen in the amount of energy, water and raw materials that are saved. Actual environmental benefits are such that an old product can be used to produce a new product which reduces water and air pollution as well. Jhetam further emphasises that bottle-to-bottle loop recycling is also important, owing to all recycled glass being used to produce new glass. Through glass recycling – excluding the reduction of carbon emissions from the returnable system – about 220 000 t of carbon emissions were prevented from being emitted last year.

Carbon emissions are reduced by 2.8-million tons yearly as a result of the returnable system. He explains that South Africa has one of the most sophisticated glass returnable systems in the world and reusing glass packaging reduces carbon emissions significantly. What you'll spend on a consultation you'll save on back breaking work that doesn't pay off, failed plantings due to poor siting choices, bad soil conditions for the plant etc.Jhetam reiterates that the organisation’s core objective remains keeping glass packaging sustainable by promoting the practice of recycling and reusing glass, as it is an environment-friendly packaging material that could produce greater benefits. If you have access to a horticultural hotline sometimes offered by colleges with horticultural programs, botanical gardens or arboretums, they can be very useful as well. A local landscaper will know your soil best, know what plant stock has thrived in the area, what has taken a hit because of disease or weather trends.

From there you can't go wrong with native plants. You know your growing zone Soil type acid or alkaline dry, damp, soil shade what time of day wind tolerance Are you removing the small stone retaining wall or removing it? My suggestion enlarge the area. Then consider the following when choosing plantings. Your lovely home seems very angular so you may want to draw a more organic or ameboid bed to soften the lines of the house. Use a garden hose or spray paint to give yourself some noncommital ideas. Before you do anything, however, you have to cut the bed, get the size and shape right for the shape of your house then think about the fun part, the plantings. From what I've read Droplet & Daphne have given you the best advise so far. Paola, you need to provide more information about your garden space if you hope to get any reasonable or useful answers from the Houzz responses.
