I have a dream...

Twenty-one chicken dishes a week from cruel chicken farms, arsenic infused water and ignorance of the environmental issues that haunt the corridors of Rhodes residences. The Long Talk to Treedom is a dynamic journalism group geared at acknowledging, and potentially solving the environmental issue in Rhodes University residences. Nothing has escaped the beady eyes of this group who have seeked the experts in an attempt to combat this issue!

This group wanted to go beyond the “Keep it Green” posters and Ronnie Recycling, instead our main focus has been placed on the dire state of the Grahamstown water, the issue of food in res both with regards to too much meat consumption and wastage as well as down to the solutions of how we as students can do our little bit to help improve the environment, collectively we can all make a difference. Our show compromises of more than just the environmental issues that we are inundated with every day; our task is to find solutions that can be implemented by the Rhodes students residing in residence. Thus we fit under the series banner “Home Affairs” well because we are bringing this issue home (res) and trying to find an accessible alternative to our ghastly living habits.

With Johnny and Mike as the sound technicians, the creative geniuses behind the marketing front, Candy and Danelle, myself, Aimee as the producer and the soothing, investigative voice of Avi, this group really knows how to talk green even if our water isn’t all that clean!
