ABOUT COOL
EARTH
Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council’s Environment & Culture Department are proud to present the 4th Annual Cool Earth Exhibition, a two day environmental exhibition that will illustrate simple
ways to reduce your carbon footprint!
Sat 24TH and Sun 25TH July, Concourse, County Hall, Dun Laoghaire 11am –
6pm, FREE
At Cool Earth you can listen to live musicians while enjoying some tasty treats from the Amnesty International Fair Trade Café. Shop for eco-goods, research your green living options, and check out the onsite green machines, listen to talks from guest speakers or just relax and refresh – Cool Earth 2010 is the place to be!
Cool Earth will feature information stands by organisations and businesses working to combat climate change through global thinking and local action. Talks on climate change will be given by leading Irish speakers including Craig Benton from the Stop Food Waste Campain, Doherty Steward from the Green Homes Campaign, and Gavin Harte from Climate for Change.
Comedians from the MOMO Theatre Company will entertain and stimulate you to think about your carbon footprint with street theatre and on stage performances. There will be free kids activities including a dedicated space run by Airfield where children can make their very own pots and plant seeds and take part in butter making as well as other activities and play an Eco Board game.
Cool Earth will be an action packed event, which will kick off each morning and finish each evening with live music. There is never a dull moment on the Cool Earth stage; the afternoon will be filled with climate change comedy and stimulating and thought provoking speaker sessions.
”It's obvious that there is an interest in counteracting climate change and here they discover how. It's also very important that other local authorities learn from Dún Laoghaire's example. This whole event has been a seed out of which will grow a lot of positive action.” Trevor Sargent
