Dear CEF Member Archive,
It’s the last week of Mix Your Mode and I would really appreciate if you could circulate this email and encourage people to support our earth hour challenge.

We are involved in 2 events at the Lifetime Lab tomorrow, Friday 22nd March, as part of the Lifelong Learning Festival:
There will be a final FREE composting workshop at the Lifetime Lab tomorrow from 11am. This session has been made available to CEF members and associates. If you are interested please come along. It is facilitated by Donal O’Leary, www.stopfoodwate.com.
 
This is a comment from a member who attended one of the sessions earlier this week “Donal's workshop re composting  yesterday at the Lifetime Lab, Lee Rd was excellent, covering a wide range of topics, from food wastage to several different options re composting”.
 
In the afternoon CEF will present a workshop from 2pm -4pm to highlight World Water Day 22^nd March. The theme this year is Water Cooperation. The workshop will primarily look at simple ways of conserving water, how to adapt a toilet, learn to make your own water butt to harvest water and see lots of other water saving devices.
 
Finally CEF have teamed up with Blackrock Castle Observatory to highlight Earth Hour on Saturday 23^rd March from 6pm -10pm. Earth Hour is the single, largest, symbolic mass participation event in the world. Born out of a hope that we could mobilize people to take action on climate change, Earth Hour now inspires a global community of millions of people in 7,001 cities and towns across 152 countries and territories to switch lights off for an hour as a massive show of concern for the environment. Don't forget to support our challenge.

The evening, which is FREE & open to all, will include NASA’s ViewSpace, a talk on Hydroponics, a short film on the Overview Effect, lights out from 8.30 -9.30 during which a special screening of Trashed will be show. For full details check out the Blackrock Castle Observatory website.
 
Hope to see you at some of these events.


Best regards,

Bernie
