About Me...
Hi everyone, I just joined Evoke, I am really excited to get going on the Missions and Quests. For those of you that don't know me and what I do, I am just going to tell you abit about what I've been up to so far in the environment.
Firslty, I am a presenter on an environmental T.V show, 50/50 which is on SABC 2. On this show, my friend and I present stories which have to do with environmental issues and wildlife stories. On the show, we offer easy and funky solutions to people that they can adopt in their everyday life about how they can help save the planet. The new season of the T.V show has not launched yet, it makes its debut on the 5th of April 2010 (please watch guys, It is a really great and interesting show, and if you are passionate about finding a green solution, you should watch). So far, my friend and I have riden tha Argus Cycle Tour, but we did not just ride it, we rode it on tandem with a recycle bin on the back of our tandem. We picked up trash at the start line, along the way, and at the finish line. We had lots of support from other cyclists, who threw their plastic packets and trash in the bin along the route. We had lots of sponsors that supported our cause, which was riding for awarness.
We have also been invited to attend Earth Hour, which you all know is a huge global movement. We are going on the Saturday night to play soccer with underpiriviliged children at Muizenberg, It is going to be insane!! I am also working with other huge, eco organisations, such as WWF, Consider Us, Ogilvy Earth.
This weekend, I am going to the Freewheeling Festival in Stanford, which is a Festival that works for a sustainable future. It is a 4 day festival and my friend and I have been invited to go and speak at the debate. We are very excited to go, and I can't wait to upload the photos for you guys to see.
This is just abit about what I have done so far for our planet, and I cant wait to use Evoke to help me play another huge role in saving our beautiful planet.
I am really passionate about what I do and I really want to find ways to be sustainable.Hope you guys enjoyed this short read, It is just what I'v done in a nutshell.
Please keep reading this space, I will update it every single day.
Thanks alot everyone.
Get amped!!!

The food actually tasted fresher than in the past and was easy to keep fueled.Dad was very proud of the solar hybrid…See More
Stinging Nettle
In this blog post I will focus on a plant that is abundant in our nature, and which is immensely nutritious. It's of course the Stinging Nettle. Let's start with the chemical constituents of this plant:37 % Non-Nitrogen-Extracts19 - 29 % Ash9 - 21 % Fiber4 % Fat22 % ProteinOnce the leaves are drid, their protein content can reach an astounding 40 %, which is much higher than beef, which even under the best of circ**stances can never exceed 31 % protein. In addition the Stinging Nettle consists…See More

Future
FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out. Every country’s governments were crushed down at the same time. There were riots everywhere. All of the big company’s bosses were killed xdeadx in the riots. Troops fought each other everywhere. Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
public servants
The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
