About Sustainable Skibbereen

Posted by Sustainable Skibbereen 
· May 6, 2018 

Who are we?

Sustainable Skibbereen is a collaboration of people, groups and organisations working across the town on individual and shared projects to make our town and environment attractive and sustainable.

If you would like to support us in any way, or get involved, please email us at contact@sustainableskibbereen.com

Members

Our members include Incredible Edible, Apple Town, Herb Ville, Plastic Recycling Project, Wildlife Group, Men’s Sheds, Skibbereen Walks and Zero Waste.  We are a not-for-profit organisation supported financially by Cork County Council, The Gwendoline Harold Barry Trust and Skibbereen Chamber of Commerce.  We are working with the Heritage Centre, Schools, Russagh Mill Hostel, Taste of West Cork Food Festival and Co-Action.

Sustainability in Ireland

“Sustainable Development in Ireland sets out the challenges and options to ensure that quality of life and general well-being can be improved and sustained. Translating these goals is simple. It starts with each individual, in the community, taking a first step.  Many people are already contributing to a sustainable future in their day to day lives. Many others only need to make small adjustments to everyday actions to reach the Sustainable Development goals. Education and awareness initiatives can help us meet these Goals”.   Tidy Towns Ireland.

EU Sustainability

“The EU Next Steps for a Sustainable European Future 2030 is committed to development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. A life of dignity for all within the planet’s limits that reconciles economic prosperity and efficiency, peaceful societies, social inclusion and environmental responsibility is at the essence of sustainable development.’
