Help plant a tree by partying in Cape Town

The Cool as Folk 3, Greenpop party, will plant a tree for you if you "Green your ticket". It will be held at 8pm at The Assembly, Harrington Street, Cape Town on Saturday, 12 November, 2011. Competitions will complement a host of DJs and acts until 3am.

The musical line-up includes: Hot Water, Jeremy Loops and Co, TouchWood, The Car Guard Quartet, and cool Djs. There'll also be a whole section of the club hosted by Cold Turkey.

Also look out for the art installation by Paul Senyol (supported by RVCA Artist Network Programme) for Greenpop.

Cool as Folk parties are about more than jumping up and down and waving your arms like you just don't care. Cape Town's environmental social-enterprise Greenpop is determined to make greening and caring for our environment fun, inclusive and tangible so that everyone can make a difference - and have a great time doing it. The motto is: Join the Treevolution - everyone's invited!

Your R40 (or R50 after 10pm) will help send Greenpop to COP-17 in Durbz, one of the most important international gatherings our nation has ever seen. The future of the world's forests, industries and environmental well-being will be discussed during the last week of November and all of us need to rally together to promote decisive agreements and action.

Green your ticket
