Killarney aims to become Ireland’s most sustainable town
Killarney Chamber of Tourism and Commerce is behind an initiative to make Killarney the most sustainable town in Ireland.
A public meeting to discuss this vision will be held on Thursday, February 27, at 6pm in the Killarney Plaza Hotel.
The meeting will feature guest speakers sharing their expertise on environmental sustainability and offering practical advice.
The Sustainable Killarney Vision 2030 committee, chaired by Tricel CEO Mike Stack, believes a greener Killarney will benefit businesses through reduced costs, attract eco-conscious tourists, and create a healthier community.
“Implementing sustainable practices can substantially reduce costs through enhanced energy efficiency and minimised waste. It can result in cost savings over time and improve business reputation,” the committee said.
The vision for the Sustainable Killarney 2030 project is to protect the area's natural beauty and heritage, boost local businesses, and enhance the visitor experience. The meeting is open to the public, and refreshments will be served. Those interested can call 087-2222495 for more information.
