Sep. 2010Graaff-Reinet, Camdeboo, Eastern Cape, South AfricaThe Giant Flag is a world-first green innovation project that celebrates the spirit of South Africa, her land and her people, while bringing together job creation, clean energy and tourism. We’re building a flag made up of millions of coloured desert plants and a four-megawatt solar field, on a previously barren tract of land. Viewable from space at the the size of 66 soccer fields and named as one of the CNN 10 Ideas to Change the World, the Giant Flag will not only claim its place as a natural wonder, but also as a new model of economic stimulus for previously-disadvantaged communities.
