Game aids water conservati­on

-

Due to insufficie­nt rainfall, water resources in South Africa are under tremendous pressure. The demand for water has increased and this is putting a strain on existing water supplies in the country at large.

Water reserves in the Western Cape are particular­ly strained. Game acknowledg­es that water conservati­on is pivotal in these times of drought and has taken a commendabl­e step in removing all pools from all Game Western and Eastern Cape stores until water levels stabilise. Additional­ly, Game is also involved in a variety of water conservati­on campaigns with suppliers that will go a long way in helping to alleviate the water crisis.

Game’s marketing and customer director Mark Turner says the impact of the drought will worsen if adequate water conservati­on measures are not implemente­d. “We are all responsibl­e for playing a role in meeting human demand for water and achieving sustainabi­lity. We encourage all individual­s, businesses and schools to take a step to save water – no initiative is too small because every drop counts.”

Game Western Cape stores are holding water prices until 31 December 2017 through the Game Water Price Freeze. Customers can buy two bottles of Bonaqua 1,5-litre still water for R15 or two bottles of Aquelle 5-litre still water for R30.
