The environmental issues facing our planet are so huge and one person can only do so much. But it’s surprising how much difference one person can make – and if we all do our bit then the impact is amplified many times over.

How do I reduce my impact?

We want to talk about waste. Nobody likes waste but making the right decisions now will have a positive impact on our community, our environment and the next generation.

Let’s get the conversation started

Before you bin something, stop and think: can it be reused, repaired or repurposed? And before you buy, ask: do you really need it? Is there a pre-loved version, or one with less packaging?

Let’s think more, and buy less

Can you recycle yoghurt pots? Used teabags? The broken kettle? We’re here to help you make the right decisions about where your waste goes for a cleaner, healthier Ireland.

Let's get started

Repairing products can make financial sense – a typical washing machine, for instance, costs between €300 and €400. Within the space of 5 and 10 years of purchase, something will almost inevitably break. If getting it repaired costs less than €150 then repairing your washing machine makes perfect sense and once fixed should then give you many more years of service.

Let's buy less, repair more!
