Kilcullen Community 4 Climate Action holds first meeting


After a low-key start just before Christmas, the Kilcullen Community 4 Climate Action group is now ready for a busy 2021 and an expansion of membership, writes Brian Byrne.

Initiated by Cliona Kelliher, who has been involved in a variety of environmental issues both in her work with Dublin City Council and the Kildare Public Participation Network, the so far small group held its first meeting on 15 January, via Zoom.

"It was really a matter of getting to know each other better, and we had a short brainstorming session," Cliona says. "I would really like to see the group develop very much as a cooperative endeavour, similar to the flat structure of the PPN. We are, of course, open to collaboration with other community organisations, businesses etc."

The idea is that everyone can make a difference by implementing small changes in their own lives. The group has already posted a number of short videos with simple ideas.

The Kilcullen Community 4 Climate Action has a presence on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.

A full feature on the initiative will be published in next week's Kildare Nationalist.
