A GROUP of eco-minded Limerick students made it to the semi-final of this year’s Young Environmentalist Awards, run by ECO-UNESCO.
Now in their 25th year, the all-island awards recognise the work of young people who have taken positive environmental action in their school or community to come up with creative solutions to solve environmental problems.
A team from Desmond College in Newcastle West made the prestigious semifinal for their project on waste and recycling, investigating the use of hydrogels as a more Earth-friendly alternative to plastic packaging.
They were joined by students from Gaelcholáiste Luimnigh who set their sights on eco-innovation with their website greenpolicydecoder.com.
