Threats of Food Production
How the Food we Eat Impacts the Planet The following is the first of a series of articles written by Ellen Cowley. We are very happy to have Ellen joining us for a short while, working on articles to raise awareness about climate action. Our group has always focused on the many ways that we can care for the planet and we are really pleased to have Ellen’s contribution. We’ll let Ellen introduce herself below and we hope that you enjoy the articles! Hi, my name is Ellen and I am in transition year (TY) in St. Mary’s College Naas. In TY we do the Gaisce programme, where you receive an award for doing 13 weeks of physical recreation, 13 weeks of community service and 13 weeks of a personal skill and at the end an extra 13 weeks of your preferred element. For my community service element of Gaisce I’m delighted to be working with Kilcullen Climate Action Group. I will be writing articles about several different topics and how they impact our climate, our planet and our biodiversity.
