Students from Carlow school facing into semi-finals of Eco-UNESCO Young Environmentalist Awards

Students from one local school are among those facing into the Eco-UNESCO Young Environmentalist Awards.

The first of four provincial semi-finals takes place today (Tues) and tomorrow (Wed) in Dublin with a focus on Leinster.

Known as the Eco Dens, 40 climate-conscious projects will be featured going through a Draon’s Den style process – including from St Leo’s College in Carlow town, in a bid to secure a place in the national final in May.
