Worm Farm at Citadel Head Office JHB
The following is an internal letter that was sent to Citadel staff inviting them to an introduction to their new worm farm.
“Hi All
I am very excited to announce that the Sandton Office (Citadel and
Peregrine) are getting new tenants - A WORM FARM!
These tenants will work for their stay by helping us recycle our food
waste into fertiliser, not only will we dispose of our food waste in a
eco friendly manner we will also be assisting the growth of new
vegetation with the worm wee. This seriously is a win win GREEN
situation.
So as we do when new families join us - we welcome them. Please join
FullCycle for coffee and muffins on the 9th June in the 4th Floor
Boardroom to meet our new tenants and to find out how we can make their
stay as beneficial as possible. FullCycle will be doing a short
presentation on how we need to dispose of our food waste (each and every
one of us) so that our worms can work as optimally as possible.
Food waste recycling starts with YOU and how you dispose of it, so
please make every effort to attend this presentation so that you can do
YOUR bit to make this office as GREEN as possible!
Thanks”
