Michelle and Riann Garforth-Venter are South Africa’s eco-couple and pioneers of eco-educational TV shows, now they have authored the book GREEN LINE: SOUTHERN AFRICA’S GUIDE TO SUSTAINABLE LIVING and executive produced/hosted the TV series GREEN LINE, which had aired on SABC 3. The production was an airtime funded purchase.

The GREEN LINE package is nominated for the David Attenborough International Green Awards, held in the UK, in the category Best Sustainable Education.

“Since filming wildlife and environmental TV and doing workshops countrywide, we realized many people are overwhelmed with implementing green at home and at work.

We noticed there’s little information available about the ‘how-to’ of sustainable living in Southern Africa. Hence we decided to compile the guideline.”

Due to her vast experience in the sustainable movement, Michelle has successfully created small group Green Workshops to educate corporate and the public on how to live and work more sustainably.
