From June 21- 23, 2010 the World Future Council organised an international strategy workshop on renewable energy policies entitled “Power Kick for Africa” in Accra, Ghana. The workshop gathered members of the African Renewable Energy Alliance (AREA) to elaborate policy technologies and financial mechanisms for the deployment of renewable energies in Africa. Partners of the workshop were the Energy Commission of Ghana, REEEP, SolarWorld, Alliance for Rural Electrification, Energiebau Sunergy Ghana and Alternative Energy Africa Magazine.

ACER and The Miss Earth South Africa in association with Consol teamed up to launch an eWaste initiative. This project saw a group of schools in Gauteng chosen to receive an eWaste bin proudly sponsored by ACER. The Miss Earth South Africa team and finalists launched the initiative along with Acer Brand Ambassador Paul Rothman last week at Crawford College and King David Linksfield. Learners were educated on the need for eWaste disposal and how they can actively ensure that they clean up their homes of eWaste.
