An Taisce, in partnership with the EPA, are currently piloting and developing a new programme called Green-Home. The programme is aimed at householders who are interested in living in a more sustainable, environmentally-friendly way. Green-Home is supported under the EPA's National Waste Prevention Programme.
The Green-Home programme is currently linked to the Green-School programme running in each school.
Green-Home is currently being piloted in 10 schools throughout the country.
These schools have been awarded at least three flags and their participation in this theme will offer them the chance to consolidate the work covered in Litter and Waste Management, Energy and Water.
The parents in these schools are currently being surveyed to determine what the local environmental needs and interests are.
For any further information, contact Dorothy or Deirdre in the Green Home office at 01-4002218.
