More than just a building company, Build It Green promotes self-reliance and responsibility. We believe in people: we know that we can change the world.   Look at Primedia’s LeadSA campaign – all it takes is ordinary people choosing to not litter or drive drunk, and to make the right choices. That is why we hand out seeds to motorists at intersections – because if one person starts a vegetable garden, soon a whole family can be eating from it. Their children will learn to grow vegetables and pass it on… and visitors to their home will enjoy the incredible taste of freshly picked vegetables, and the idea will spread. Once that idea spreads, it opens the path to recycling kitchen scraps to make compost, and recycling the rest of the household rubbish.

It’s about saving money as well as being self-reliant....
