The committee hope to increase emphasis on the importance of environmental and biodiversity issues, and have appointed Mary Connolly to drive some new initiatives in the coming year. If anyone wishes to get involved in bio diversity in Marley Grange, please feel free to contact Mary at biodiversity@marleygrange.ie
Mary has identified some tips for being more environmentally friendly within the home, by moving from chemical based cleaning products towards ones based on natural products.
Items such as bread soda, vinegar, lemons, borax and natural oils (peppermint, tea tree, orange / lemon) were used as traditional cleaners and make an effective but safer alternative to commercially available products. Links to useful resources for further information are available on the website.
