GREEN CLUB

The Green Club Programme was established to support Gaelic Games clubs in taking simple and effective sustainability action in their grounds and activities. The Programme is structured around the themes of Energy, Water, Waste, Biodiversity and Travel & Transport and is designed to promote sustainability awareness and action in GAA clubs and communities.

While we have done some work in this area in the past number of years, a committee has been established to formulate and implement a plan to attain Green Club status.

We have started planning the next steps and we need your opinions and suggestions on how to shape this plan!

-Below you will find a high level plan for our potential steps.

: Every year a large number of re-usable water bottles are left behind at training and not reclaimed. These are all now available fo anyone to take from a crate outside the clubhouse in Knockdoemore. Please consider taking, cleaning and reusing these bottles instead of purchasing new ones! When they are gone, they’re gone!

: As part of the Green Club program an additional 300 native trees were planted at our grounds in Knockdoemore this Spring. The trees were kindly donated by Coillte in association with the Tree Council of Ireland and the EasyTreesie – Crann Project. PJ and Kevin together with Paddy Hughes looked after the planting. A further boost to our community green club efforts was achieved when our close neighbour Gerry Kearney planted 2000 trees on his land adjacent to the walkway. We say thanks you to Gerry for taking the initiative and supporting our green club efforts.
