School kids’ eyes opened to the benefits of recycling

Sinéad was happy to show her enthusiasm for protecting the environment as part of Baltydaniel National School’s tour of recycling facilities in north Cork.

The senior infant pupil was among a sizeable group, from one of Cork’s most environmentally-aware schools, who used the tour to further their already extensive knowledge.
