CARNAUN NATIONAL SCHOOL
Application
for a Green-Schools Award
This year we applied to An Taisce for
the Green-schools Award
We elected a Green-Schools Committee
We did an Environmental Review for the School
Then we decided on our projects:
-
Create an awareness of the litter in the immediate
school area.
-
Reduce the volume of Waste going to landfill
site by 50% in a year.
Recently we were visited by Sinéad Ní
Mhainín, Environmental Officer from Galway Co. Co. who examined
our projects on behalf of An Taisce
Today - 24.05.2000 - we got our letter:
Dear
