Tips from the Green School Committee

Food Waste
Households in Ireland are responsible for generating more than 300,000 tonnes of food waste each year. That means each household generates approximately 120kg of food waste, with a cost per household of between €400 and €1000. This waste can be greatly reduced through improvements in meal planning, shopping, storage, cooking & composting.

In My Shoes

Thank you to everyone who donated to the “In My Shoes” Campaign. We sent off approximately 140 pairs of shoes in good condition to be used by children and teenagers in South Africa.
