Welcome to another episode of Ours To Protect on Clare FM.
Today we’ll hear about the impact plastic waste is having on our environment.
Shortly, we’ll meet the General Manager of a Clare company that has been recycling plastics for over two decades. First though, a team students from Mary Immaculate Secondary School in Lisdoonvarna recently competed in the Finals of the ECO-UNESCO Young Environmentalist Awards. Their project highlighted the issue of plastic in our oceans and what people can do to reverse the problem.
Katie O’Kane told Pat Flynn about their project and why these chose this particular issue to research.
We’ll also hear from Sharon Barrington is General Manager of IFF Plastics based near Cree in West Clare.
