Join our bid to be Ireland's Greenest Town by 2025
Ballina - Ireland's Greenest Town is an initiative to make Ballina Ireland’s greenest town by 2025. It brings together families, business and community groups in Ballina and North Mayo to work together on ambitious, transformative projects to bring about a brighter, more sustainable future.
This is a small step on an important journey for Ballina and North Mayo, and we are all in this together. If you've signed our Green Town charter, you've already pledged to do just THREE things for our environment. If you're looking for inspiration, to learn more about the positive things we can do to make a change, we've gathered some resources below here that might help.
If you have a project that you think might be of interest or would like to learn more about the Green Town projects, get in touch at [email protected] for more information.
