Free waste reduction workshop set to run in Cork village this month

Tad Kirakowski, of Voice Ireland, who attended the ReUse Republic event organised by SMILE Resource Exchange in collaboration with Cork County Council last week.
We campaigned back in 2000 for the plastic bag tax.
We ran projects around food waste, such as feeding 5,000, which was using food waste, or what would have been food waste, to feed 5,000 people in Dublin.
We pushed projects towards Zero Waste Cashel.
We work projects like the Conscious Cup campaign which is the idea of getting a reduction if you use your own cup, rather than using a single use cup and encouraging the circular economy approach to problems like that and encouraging people to think how they consume, how they use day to day items.



“Then we talk about waste reduction — how you go about it. We talk about refuse, reduce, reuse, recycle — that pyramid of reduction.
The upcoming workshop in Crosshaven is free and open to everyone. Further queries to onegreenvillage@gmail.com. Follow them on Facebook and Twitter at One Green Village
