Plastic Free July - Collaboration with Susan Adams
To celebrate Plastic Free July, we have collaborated with local environmental innovator Susan Adams to create a series of resources about reducing the ‘pointless plastic’ in our everyday lives. Speaking at the launch of the new campaign, An Cathaoirleach Cllr. Lettie McCarthy noted that “we are all becoming more aware of how our daily lives impact our shared environment. Much of the plastic we encounter in our everyday lives can be avoided…Even one change during Plastic Free July will make a difference and be part of the solution to plastic pollution.” This environmental awareness campaign will feature on dlr social media accounts throughout the month of July. The campaign focuses on reducing unnecessary plastic in the bathroom, kitchen and on-the-go. Please visit the Council website (link here) or YouTube Channel (link here) to view the full campaign.
Even one change will collectively make a real difference. It can reduce energy usage, consumption of raw materials, transport emissions and litter pollution. Switching to reusable items can also save money in the long term.
View the campaign on the dlr website and YouTube channel.
