Gum litter taskforce roadshow hits Killarney
The Gum Litter Taskforce's ‘Bin It!’ roadshow made a stop in Killarney this week, educating school children about the importance of responsible litter disposal.
Pupils from Lissivigeen National School participated in an hour-long workshop, learning about the environmental impact of gum litter and how they can contribute to a cleaner future. The interactive session, led by experienced actors, aimed to foster positive habits and encourage proper waste disposal.
"Young people are increasingly environmentally conscious, but there's still work to be done," said a Gum Litter Taskforce representative. "Our roadshow focuses on educating children at a crucial age, when habits are formed. By encouraging responsible behaviour, we can make a significant difference in reducing gum litter."
Research has shown that lifestyle habits are established early in life, making schoolchildren a key target audience for litter prevention campaigns. The Gum Litter Taskforce's ‘Bin It!’ programme aims to address this issue by providing engaging and informative workshops.
Over the next eight weeks, the roadshow will travel to 25 counties across Ireland, reaching over 7,000 students in 68 schools
