The last show of our eco-journey takes us on an international tour with a LG Electronics and their energy-efficient range of appliances demonstrating that: “..what’s healthy for you is healthy for the planet!”. We ask the question as to whether the retail industry can indeed grow the bottom line in a sustainable manner as Woolworths offers some pioneering answers. Lastly, we celebrate in Hybrid style as Emanuel Castis and Shashi Naidoo find out if organic wine really is that different to their conventional peers and Gabby and Irv join in on the fun with some organic treats!
Thanks for joining us and we hope to be back on your screens again, showing you that you can go green without having to give up the finer things in life.
