The environmental group has continued to work towards making Kildare College an environmentally conscious campus.
To build on previous goals of ensuring all classrooms and workspaces were equipped with recycle bins, teachers were provided with re-fillable white board markers and the removal of single use plastic containers, plates etc. from the College canteen. The Environmental Group have recently been working on a further initiative to encourage students to reduce the amount of plastic wrap they use.
Members of the group recently participated in a workshop to create environmentally friendly bees wax wraps and pouches. The students produced colourful wraps and pouches in preparation for the upcoming Brigidine Day where they will be on sale.
The group would like to pass on huge thanks to Ms Peek who provided the 100% organic bees wax from her local ‘Honey Man’ and the Food and Hospitality teachers for making the kitchen available.
