The interview took two hours at The Company Gardens in Cape Town where we discussed everything that Miss Earth SA is truly about, all topics involved but more specifically we discussed why it is so important to be more eco-friendly and adopt a green consciousness or ethos within our society as all our little actions really do have a great impact on the environment around us.

Being the city of Cape Town – the Mother City, a city which attracts millions of tourists annually – I admitted the critical importance of us looking after our environment to boost our economy. I also gave a brief history of myself and my past efforts, as well as educated the public about biodegradable and dispersible products which retailers should take some responsibility for. As a marketing manager I am aware that marketing plays a crucial role in educating consumers of their own needs and wants as well as the needs of the environment and elaborated on the benefits of using certain products over others. The detriment certain hygiene products are having on our waters and oceans is tremendous and cannot be negated any longer!

 Thanks for painting me in such a good light, Matthew!
