WASTE NOT WANT NOT
As part of European Week for Waste Reduction organised by The Regional Waste Management Office for Limerick, Clare and Kerry Limerick ICA held a stitch in time bootcamp with practical demonstrations on how to make clothes last longer. Every person in Ireland generates 27kgs of textile waste each year. Preventing some or all of this is good for the environment.
The day was a great success with all age groups taking an interest from age 11 up to our senior citizens sharing and learning skills on the day. There was information on the use of the sewing machine and all the skills from sewing a button to taking up a hem and other simple repairs. The Mayor of Limerick, James Long and The Cathaoirleach of Limerick Co. Council, Mary Harty as well as Councillor P.J. Ryan of Clare called in to give support and encouragement to the project.
On the same day Transition Year Eco- Ambassadors from Crescent College Comprehensive launched a new web page “Eco pledge-I made it”. They hope to raise awareness and change our behaviour by challenging people to make a simple Eco Pledge and stick to it. The pledges are simple, easy to achieve actions such as Saying No to Junk Mail, Using a Shopping list to Prevent Food Waste or Choosing Tap Water. We wish them every success.

Lucky Mrs Higgins
By Rita Ann Higgins.
When our mother
Won a fridge
With Becker’s Tea,
She got her photograph
In the Sentinel
Shaking hands
With the man from head office.
The fridge was also
She wore a big wide hat
She kept on top of the wardrobe
For fridge winning days.
It went nice
With the crimplene two piece
She got for Mary Theresa’s wedding.
In the photo
With the fridge
And the man from head office
She didn,t look anything like herself.
