🌍✨ Skiing Sustainably: How to Make Your Next Slopes Adventure Eco-Friendly! 🏔️⛷️

Skiing’s environmental impact is growing, but there’s a way to enjoy the slopes responsibly! 🌱 Whether you're planning your next winter getaway or advising clients, here are 4 simple ways to reduce your carbon footprint without compromising on the thrill of a snowy escape. ❄️

🏔️ 1. Choose the Right Resort: 🌿 Did you know that resorts like Laax (Switzerland) and Val d’Isère (France) are already working on projects to reduce fossil fuel consumption? 🌞 From solar-powered ski lifts to using local produce and renewable energy, these destinations lead the way in eco-conscious travel. 🌍

🚂 2. Slow It Down with Scenic Train Journeys: 🚄 Leave the plane behind and take the scenic route by train! 🌟 Rail options are more accessible than ever – reach resorts like St Anton or Les Arcs without a single flight. And once you arrive, enjoy low-emission transport around the resort. 🌱💚

🏔️ 3. Gear Up for the Planet: 🌍🎿 Support eco-conscious brands like Arbor Collective and Venture Snowboards that create gear with sustainable materials. Choose biodegradable ski wax and opt for rental gear that minimizes waste. 🌱

🍽️ 4. Eat Locally & Support Sustainable Dining: 🍴 Enjoy après-ski with seasonal, locally-sourced meals that reduce food miles. 🌾✨ Explore family-run hotels or eco-resorts that use local materials for a truly authentic experience! 🍇🥂

Are you ready to ski with a lighter footprint? 🌍💚

🎉 Cape Town’s Streets Are About to Come Alive! 🌟

This Saturday, 4 January, the heart of Cape Town will burst into a dazzling celebration of history, culture, and resilience as the Tweede Nuwe Jaar Parade takes centre stage!

🎺🥁A decades-old tradition honours the Cape Coloured community's ancestors, who, as enslaved people, were given only one day of freedom—the day after New Year’s.

✨ What’s Happening:
Over 20,000 performers decked out in vibrant, sequinned costumes will march to the beat of drums and the blare of trumpets, keeping alive the rich legacy of the Kaapse Klopse. This decades-old tradition honours the Cape Coloured community's ancestors, who, as enslaved people, were given only one day of freedom—the day after New Year’s.

🌈 Today, it’s not just a celebration—it’s a statement. “When we paint our faces, we don't paint to hide, we paint to show who we are,” says Ardiel Adams, a proud troupe member and renowned face painter.

🕊️ From its origins of defiance and joy to the vibrant, inclusive parade we see today, this is a story of culture, identity, and resilience.
