South Dublin County Council’s Eco Week
South Dublin County Council Environmental Services is proud to announce its seventh annual Eco Week this year in conjunction with South Dublin County Libraries & South Dublin County Council Parks Department.
Eco Week will be officially launched by Mayor Cllr Marie Corr at County Hall, Tallaght on Monday 4th April at 11am with the presentation of prizes for winners of the South Dublin County Council funded Garbo Productions Funky Anti-litter Fashion Show.
Over 1200 primary school students from around South Dublin County took part in this funky fashion recycling Anti-Litter initiative. Students worked to create fashion items out recyclable materials. The culmination of this initiative is the Anti-Litter fashion show which will take place during the launch of Eco-Week.
All of Eco-Week’s events are FREE and aim to deliver the important message - that everyone can play a role in reducing their impact on the environment that it is “Our Environment, let’s protect it! The purpose of the week is to focus attention on the environmental issues that face everyone living and working in the South Dublin area and look at positive steps we can all take.
Events are designed to raise environmental awareness and encourage South Dublin residents to change their environmental behaviour in order to reduce their impact on the environment.
The activities are open to everyone from Community Groups to Schools, Householders to Individuals and Businesses. All events are FREE and range from workshops like; grow your own; to Eco-Unesco’s wild watchers for young people; to a greenbusiness.ie talk for businesses right through to storytelling, Puppet Shows and much more.
