TTK is holding a public meeting to discuss setting up Kinsale's 2nd Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) project on Tuesday 2nd February, at 8.30pm in the Temperance Hall, Kinsale.

CSAs are new models of food production. Members of a community come together & pay a grower/farmer up front for the mutually agreed produce that will be grown and supplied to the community members after it is harvested.

All welcome.

Transition Drinks, our monthly informal get-together, is on Monday 1st February (La Fheile Bride/St Brigid's Day/Imbolc), 9pm, Dalton's Bar, Kinsale.

All welcome.

a very Happy Christmas.

 Over Christmas we use a lot of energy. Here’s some tips how to use less energy and have less impact on our environment:

• Think about what presents you buy for Christmas, how are they packaged?
• Reuse & Recycle wrapping paper.
• Make presents & cards out of recyclable materials/decorations
• You can buy food grown locally
• Buy gifts which help people stay warm & help reduce heat use
• Use recyclable bags when shopping
• You can use Christmas dinner leftovers in sandwiches or feed the dog! 
• Or put them in the compost bin with food waste
• Dispose of your Christmas tree properly
• Give any unwanted presents to the charity shop
• Turn your Christmas tree lights off & other lights when you go out, 
• and when you go to bed, it’s safer too!
