“What we hope is that the 18 or so exhibitors might inspire, educate and empower attendees on the day. We are facilitating the sharing of ideas on how to consume in a way that doesn't cost the earth,” says PRO of Fossa Climate Action Group., Diarmaid Griffin.

When established over a year ago, Fossa Climate Action Group, committed to hosting a public event every quarter.

These events coincide with the feast days of the Celtic year: Imbolc, Bealtaine, Lughnasa, and Samhain.

“We thought it would be fitting to start the new year off with an event that showcases the positive work that is ongoing in the locality. It was of great benefit to attendees and exhibitors last year, so we hope for an even bigger event this time around,” added Paul O'Raw, Chair of Fossa Climate Action Group.
