Kevin Fannon, Adam Lalwani and Éabha Dolan, members of Kilteevan Tidy Towns “Straws Suck” #Refuse the Straw Action Team, with Suzanne Dempsey, Environmental Officer, Roscommon County Council, Elizabeth Stobie, Plastic Free Roscommon, Senator Maura Hopkins and Julie O Donoghue, Plastic Fee Roscommon. 

This was a wonderful event, very well organised with lots of useful practical yet thought provoking advice about a better Roscommon for the future.   We learned that all have to work together towards this goal.

If we all did our small share, this world could be a better place. Vincent Van Gough said "Great things are not done by impulse but a series of small things brought together". 

Well done to all involved in organising this event. Don’t forget the Zero Waste Market in Gleeson’s tomorrow February 17th .
