Tonia Schofield is a KZN born and Knysna based entrepreneur, upcycler, change maker and creative.  Tonia runs her own business, Nanazulu, making beautiful snap bags out of colourful Shweshwe fabric.  

Shweshwe is South African cotton cloth dyed and printed in large varieties of pattern and colour. Originally recognized by the indigo hue, the "Tartan of South Africa" is robust in texture and vibrant in design. Reflected in traditional clothing, haute couture and street wear, this historic cloth authenticates the design process with quality pieces that are fit for royalty.  

Tonia keeps upcycling at the heart of her business and uses old tape measures to make the ‘snap’ part of the bags and ostrich leather cut offs for her logo.  She is an inspiring human making her difference in the world and doing what she can for the planet each and every day.

Sahara Thagunna, host of Earth chats, chats to Misha Teasdale who is the Founder & TreeEO of GreenPop.org.  

It all started with a simple goal: to plant 1000 trees in 1 month.  GREENPOP are on a mission to plant trees, green communities and empower environmental stewards across Sub-Saharan Africa.  

Connect with Sahara - https://plasticsolution.gr8.com/

Connect with Greenpop - https://greenpop.org/

In 2010, Misha gathered like-minded individuals to plant 1000 trees in a month and hasn’t looked back since. When he is not planting trees, you can find him doing wheelies on his bicycle or sprinting up Table Mountain.  

GREENPOP believe in (re)connecting people with our planet. We have become disconnected from nature, our beautiful planet and only home. If we (re)connect with nature and each other in meaningful ways, we believe that caring for our planet will become second nature.  

GREENPOP believe in getting active (not anxious) about the future of our planet. There are a lot of doom and gloom messages out there and it makes us stressed out, anxious and even apathetic. Greenpop believe that positivity and action are the best ways to motivate change.  

GREENPOP believe that changing the world is fun. When we give back and create value for the earth and our fellow human beings, joy is created – changing our own lives and changing the world. Greenpop are on a mission to have fun and share this joy with as many people as possible.  

GREENPOP believe in making greening POPular. They are on a mission to popularise environmentalism – making it accessible to everyone, appealing, creative and fun!
