Want to make a difference in the world? This coming World Environment Day, taking place on the 5th of June, you can Eat for the Earth, and help raise money for Soil for Life, a Cape Town based NGO that empowers township residents to grow and sell their own organic vegetables.

So what do you need to do? It’s as simple as hosting a Sunday lunch for you and your closest friends. In exchange for being served a delicious spread, your mates donate anything from R25 to R200 to Soil for Life. Register your lunch on www.eatfortheearth.com and get your friends to make their donations online.
