The following report appeared on Climate Smart's website:

"The Climate Smart Cape Town Pavilion at COP17 has won the best outdoor and best overall stand in the Climate Change Response Expo.

The Pavilion, constructed out of 1884 plastic milk crates and over 22,000 plastic milk bottles supplied by Polyoak Packaging, is a temporary structure that has a low-impact on the environment as it will be dismantled after the climate change conference in Durban and all the materials re-used.

Using different coloured crates to create the outline of Table Mountain, with Lion’s Head and Devil’s Peak, the Pavilion is an iconic design that showcases the vision and the projects that will enable Cape Town to become a lower carbon city adapting well to the impacts of climate change, protecting its most vulnerable citizens and building an economic future based on clean development, localisation and jobs for all."
