The Scenic Drive to help the vulnerable residents of Kriel by creating safe zones

The Scenic Drive team recently went to Kriel, where ash from the nearby power stations are causing massive pollution.

The problem is sulphur dioxide in the air – something that can not be fixed by planting trees.

Rian van Heerden and the team decided to create safe zones around the town of Kriel.

This will allow vulnerable people to have a safe place.

We decided to start at the Kosmos Children’s Home in Kriel where almost 70 children are at risk of infection and constant flu-like symptoms as a result of the pollution.

HERE IS OUR PLAN:

We are going to install air-conditioners in strategic places like the children’s home, old age home and schools in the area.

This initiative will start at the children’s home and then roll out to the other sites across the town.

BUT WHY AIR-CONDITIONERS?

Air conditioners are beneficial in so much as they help circulate and filter indoor air. Almost all air conditioners contain a filter that will remove allergens and other pollutants as it pulls air from inside the room. This can actually help reduce indoor air pollution, especially when the air quality outside is poor.

TURBOVENT are the leaders in natural cooling and ventaltion.
