The purpose of the site is to provide visitors with quick and easy links to information, it is made available for educational purposes and is not for any commercial gain whatsoever.  We, the inhabitants of the Eastern Cape need to know what is happening to our environment, it is up to us to be the custodians for our children, it is OUR lives that are affected, we have to take responsibility NOW.  I was told my someone that the next generation would not even remember our struggle for a cleaner healthier province.  Yet by involving and educating the next generation we will not need them to remember, as they will carry on where we leave off.  If we don't do something now then its a given that the hazards of industrial pollution will leave a mark on them that they will definitely remember.
