Halloween is wonderful. But the amount of waste the festival generates is truly terrifying. Here are some tips on how to change that: globalactionplan.ie/blogs/green-... #Halloween #Ireland #EcoHalloween #Samhain

This weathered chair washed up on Ballyteigue Burrow, Co. Wexford, scarred by the sea but still standing. It was restored and donated to It’s Good 2 Talk, a Wexford mental health charity. This small act captures the spirit of the circular economy.

Yesterday in our #NatureExplorer programme, St. Brigid's pupils learned about the wonderful bramble plant that shares the gift of blackberries (sméara dubha). Some students also made some medicine for nettle stings with plantain (slánlus) and others gathered berries in tiny 'fairy cups' or acorns.

To feed 9.6 billion people without destroying the planet, we need to change what’s on our plates. This new report shows that shifting our #diets could save 15 million lives a year and cut food-related emissions in half. www.euronews.com/green/2025/1... #behaviourchange #climate

This article in the Irish Times warns of penalties up to €26bn if we fail to meet our climate targets. Real transformation starts with imagination: being able to picture a society where sustainability is the default. www.irishtimes.com/special-repo...
