Greenprint Trust was formed to raise funds for implementing practical solutions, as well as for INFORMATION and EDUCATION to ensure community buy-in, widespread success and motivation for others. We implement important grassroots projects; we create and distribute original educational resources; and lastly we are closely affiliated to the enormously popular Greenprint Magazine. All of these provide a logical framework for rapid change and improvement through constructive intervention. Donors are given on-going credit for various multi-cultural projects that are aimed at creating environmental awareness, health, safety and social stability for a sustainable future.

Through providing accessible, professionally produced information-based resources Greenprint Magazine (originally called Earthyear) has immeasurably influenced legislation, industry, education, corporate governance and national policy since 1990. It is living proof that the pen is indeed mightier than the sword! It has provided an important focus for the evolution of a dynamic green revolution.

The journal is part of an overall strategy that is sustained by the profound belief that every individual who is intelligently committed to constructive change can alter the status quo and indeed the course of history by becoming a force for good.

This initiative, spanning two decades, has created a forum and facilitated a credible platform for brilliant minds the world over to communicate original insight, perspective, opinion, ideas and formulae for workable solutions. These are presented in educational wall charts and games as well as in the beautifully crafted magazine that commands universal attention. These resources are eagerly awaited, widely respected, in demand and enthusiastically welcomed by all who discover them. Research has shown that they seldom find their way into the waste stream! They are used a reference tool for many years to come. Indeed they have been integrated into the syllabii at high school and universities, and have informed the processes and much of the content of the official South African curriculum.

The journal and its creator have been the honoured recipients of 15 awards and 4 nominations, representing the highest accolades in SA - more than any other publication or individual in SA.

Bi-Annual Distribution

Distributed through conferences, educational institutions and government via the Dept. Environmental Affairs & Tourism, Greenprint Magazine has an extraordinary sphere of influence. Yet it is popular with the general public too - copies are sold out within days of appearing in Woolworths stores nationally. It plays a significant role in shaping courses, activities, policies and decisions. It has become an inspiring example of collaboration, information and education, bringing together a global network of skills and solutions. It provides a visible, comprehensible platform that tackles the key challenges of our times, whilst acting as an invaluable guide for the present generation as well for those to come.

Whether you're a linear or a lateral thinker, You’l l find Greenprint Magazine is literally indispensable

Greenprint Magazine excels at taking long-winded, academic, boring information and presenting it in an entertaining format, with visuals and photos designed to seduce and beguile even the most cynical, time restricted or eco-challenged individual. Independent research has shown that almost no-one puts it down after a cursory glance. Most people take a second look and start reading. It engages human consciousness on every level and stakes its claim with an almost universal appeal that does not resort to compromising its honesty, its scientific accuracy or contemporary validity. It takes boring, abstract, depressing subjects and makes them inspiring and sexy!
