Helping biodiversity through zero-waste workshop

A workshop on how to achieve zero waste and help biodiversity will be given in Kilcullen Library on 28 September 2023, writes Brian Byrne. Led by ecologist and zero-waste artist Alex Konieczka, the 6pm-7.30pm event is being hosted by Kilcullen Community For Climate Action.

Alex Konieczka is the Environmental Youth Programmes Coordinator at the Eco-Unesco environmental education organisation, whose patron is President of Ireland Michael D Higgins. The Dublin-based charity works with young people to help conserve the environment.

Alex Konieczka's background in Environmental Science facilitated her work as an Innovation Analyst and Researcher with Irish-American professional services company Accenture, where she created and managed an award winning 12-month sustainability programme. She has also founded her own company, Understory, to  lead community sustainability initiatives in disadvantaged areas in particular, as well as developing sustainable and zero-waste products made from waste. She also is a tutor with Kildare Wicklow ETB.

The Kilcullen Library event is free, but places should be reserved at Eventbrite here. Funding for their zero-waste initiatives has been provided to Kilcullen Community For Climate Action by Kildare County Council.
