The ANC's plan for creating jobs
March 2, 2009 by evl
The ANC released their plans today for creating jobs. It reads as this:Over the last 15 years we have achieved significant levels of sustained economic growth. We have managed to progressively increase the rate at which jobs have been created. But despite our progress, we still face massive unemployment and widespread poverty. We need to continue to grow the economy, and make sure that the benefits of growth are shared among all South Africans. That is why the ANC has developed a clear and achievable plan that will grow the economy over the next five years and create more decent jobs. This plan includes: * a massive public investment programme, expanding and improving rail networks, public transport, port operations, dams, housing, telecommunications and energy generation; * an expanded public works programme linked to the infrastructure programme and meeting social needs with home-based case, cr
Marthinus van Schalkwyk calls George bush natural disaster
December 15, 2008 by evl
Wel l that is the way I'd would of said it at least. Its not far from the truth, our Environment Minister Marthinus van Schalkwyk has basically said that George Bush is a failure.
"Relative to his prehistoric predecessor, it is something which we should celebrate,"
"Goodbye, George!"
Not only did George Bush mess up a entire country, he basically messed up a whole lot of countries. Only going after those with oil to feed the American lust of oil.
Hey old Bush, do you think Mugabe has weapons of mass destruction? What's that? No oil? Oh ok. I guess they have a free and fair country after all.
Monocycle - First self balanching Bike
December 9, 2008 by evl
The monocycle designed by Palmadesign.at is what they claim the world's first self balancing bike.
Its a really cool concept. If you want to go faster you just lean forward and if you want to go slower you just lean backwards.
I am not so sure about hills though because they make you lean backwards naturally.
The monocycle has a strong electric motor as well so its not all pedal power.
I just love the simple design of it.

Dirty water next to Environmental affairs
December 2, 2008 by evl
This water was so gross, one would think that because its next to environmental affairs in Cape Town they would do a bit of hassle and clean it up. What bad image does this give of the people who are supposed to look after nature and the environment but cant even keep the filth out of the water next to the building.
Saving money is easier than you might think
October 7, 2008 by evl
Learning how to do things differently and becoming more eco friendly will actually help you save money. I might sound like a hippy now but if you think about it: Using natural resources Collecting food Not using chemicals etc I guess all these things might make a blog about money sound totally irrelevant but lets look closer it might sound more like a health blog or something about survival. Using natural resources Everyone needs time away from work, wheter you are a rocket scientist or a banker and the best way to start saving money is by making your own garden if you have that space. Some vegatables can grow within 1 or 2 weeks and before you know it you've saved a couple bucks. Collecting food You need excersize and hobbies, what better way than fishing or collecting things in nature that is edible. Nature is where all food comes from so why not take or make the time to go and collect things to eat. Here where we live we are fairly close to the mountain. It makes great excersize and the berries, fruit and other things you can put in your basket is plentyfull. Simple things can make you save a lot of money.Nature Reserves
