Ramsgrange Community School endorses Green Flag for water

By Dan Walsh

Uisce Éireann has announced its ongoing partnership with An Taisce’s Green-Schools programme for the 11th consecutive year. This collaboration aims to support 519 schools across Ireland as they work towards achieving a Green Flag for water conservation.

With 120,000 students actively participating, including Ramsgrange Community School in Co. Wexford, the grassroots sponsorship focuses on changing behaviours, enhancing education, and fostering an understanding of the vital role that water plays in our daily lives.

Geoffrey Bourke, Head of Customer Operations at Uisce Éireann told WexfordLocal.com; We are helping the next generation realise the importance of conserving and protecting water is a key part of our role in safeguarding Ireland’s water supply. We are delighted to be teaming up with An Taisce again this year for the Green-Schools Water Theme. There are so many small actions we can take to make a difference. We can change simple habits like fixing leaking or dripping taps, reducing shower time and not running the tap while brushing teeth. There are great tips on www.water.ie/conservation.”
