Community Projects & October is Reuse Month
National Reuse Month is a new waste prevention initiative to raise awareness about the economic and environmental benefits of reusing everyday items and materials that would otherwise go to waste. Throughout October, local and regional events all over Ireland are encouraged to promote ways for families, businesses and communities to reuse. I attach one of several posters that may be used by you, schools and communities. Additional posters will be available on the environment web page to download. Visit the Youtube link for video footage.

SWAP items at home and with friends.
Visit a charity shop and upcycling shop which are popping up in towns and villages throughout the County.
