On Saturday 8 December Chris, Ruth and Liz participated in the CYMS Christmas bazaar. Their Green Christmas display included information regarding food waste and the Green Home programme.
The Green Christmas stand involved a variety of media, including an ipad to show An Taisce's Green Home website and a practical display demonstrating the energy-saving effects of good insulation. The insulation display consisted of a simple structure divided into two sections, both containing a 60 watt lightbulb.

Display showing the effects of insulation.
The side of the structure that was insulated with polystyrene retained heat from the lightbulb, while the non-insulated side of the display did not. This display helped to get the public thinking about energy-saving and encouraged people to think about making their homes more energy-efficient. Householders were also interested in picking up tips on composting, as many people in Killorglin have started composting in recent months.
Thanks to Susan Vickers from the An Taisce Green Home programme and Donal O'Leary from StopFoodWaste for providing us with materials for the waste minimisation dsplay.
This is just the beginning of the waste minimisation work in Killorglin. KTT will distribute tips on food waste reduction at the Christmas cooking display at PK's Supervalu on Tuesday 18 December, and in the New Year KTT is inviting residents' associations and restaurants to improve waste reduction at home and at work.
