In the first episode of Ours to Protect Edwina Grace was out and about chatting with some of the students in Gaelscoil Osraí in Kilkenny and in Bunscoil McAuley Rice in Callan where she captured their insights on climate change and questions about food waste and its impact on the environment, she also visited Muckalee Community Café to find how they deal with food management and work to minimise waste.
Una Ní Mhaoldhomhnaigh caught up with Dee Sewell, Environmental Awareness Officer, Carlow County Council and Mags Whelan, Environmental Awareness Officer, Kilkenny County Council, to provide the answers to the questions as well as getting some hints and tips on managing food waste. Una also spoke with Minister of State for Small Business and Retail & Circular Economy, Alan Dillon, to find out how food waste management is being addressed with regard to the hot school meal scheme.
For more on climate change – listen in to KCLR on the last Thursday of each month for the next six months as we’ll be chatting all things climate action & change with the children within our communities.
