WEEE Ireland are calling on schools across Ireland to be mindful of waste batteries for recycling. 🔋 There's lots of places batteries might be found during this festive period, have you thought about where they could be hiding?🎄♻️ · Christmas Tree Lights · Old Toys · Outdoor Decorations · Watches · Musical Greeting Cards · Talking Teddies/Dolls · Mice and Keyboards · Electric Toothbrushes or Razors · Electric Candles · Electric Tools · Video Game Controllers or Remote Controls · Electric Board Games Why not plan a Christmas recycling clear out before the new decorations and gifts come in? 🎄🔋 Order your battery boxes and see how many batteries your class can find inside their homes! https://lnkd.in/dh8bmzeW

Let's hear from Jimi Blake of Hunting Brook Gardens on what he has planned for his compost delivery. Remember that using your brown bin for food/garden waste is a great help to the environment and if you don't use your brown bin already, now is the perfect time to start. #GreyhoundRecycling #AreYouWithUs #JimiBlake #HuntingbrookGardens #SoilHealth #Compost #CompostingAtHome #HomeCompost #Garden #Gardening #FoodWaste #BrownBin

We had a great day at the CRNI Community of Practice Textiles Event last week. We travelled to Change Clothes’ new premises in the Digital Hub on Tuesday to join sustainable fashion and textile practitioners from around the country. Thanks to Change Clothes for hosting, it was wonderful to learn about their journey, and their exciting plans for the future. The highlight of the day was collaborating on a communal project to create a "Reuse, Repair, Rewear" banner. This banner will now travel to social enterprises across the country, with each group adding their unique touch. It was inspiring to hear from organizations like CRNI, the Upcycle Movement, Change Clothes, and Oxfam about the amazing work being done in sustainable fashion. With so much energy and creativity in the room, 2025 is shaping up to be Ireland’s most circular textile year yet! #relovefashion #rediscoverfashion The Upcycle Movement Community Resources Network Ireland (CRNI) Roscommon Women's Network Oxfam Ireland Change Clothes #reversethetrend
