Today, Shane from @AidTheOcean came down from Sligo to help us out with a lake clean. We collected 7 bags (after we put the clear ones inside the green ones) from around Dara Park and the lake itself. A huge thank you to Shane and the rest of our TY class for the help! 💙 #ysinow

We met with @TescoIrl today to hear about their plans to reduce plastic - aiming to eliminate all non recyclable packaging by end of 2019.

And we delivered 20,982 petition signatures with the results form our supermarket plastic audit. #BreakFreeFromPlastic

Fact of the day: Over the last 10 years we have produced more plastic than during the whole of the last century 🐢🐠 @YSInow @ECOUNESCO @PlasticPollutes @LimerickEnviron

It wasn’t the best weather but we still managed!

Today some of our TY class went around our school collecting litter on the grounds. We ended up with 17 bags in just one hour. We’re still going onwards and upwards and won’t stop now! #ysinow #lessplasticmorelives @YSInow
