Beautiful photograph taken in Kerry.

No trace of her found and she is largely forgotten in Irish public consciousness.

With rising energy and fuel prices, it has never been more important for your business to be energy efficient. Estimating your carbon footprint (and understanding your energy, water and waste use) is an important step to reduce your carbon emissions which will also help to cut costs.

As an industry we are at the start of our journey to reduce emissions and while we wait to have enough data to compile a national carbon footprint benchmark at a sector level, international benchmarks have been sourced. Compare your business with a similar business in your sector internationally now. Find out more here: https://t.co/G0KynsoRft
