School’s bright sparks win green award

PUPILS at a Dublin school have saved their lunch catering company on the double and earned a national award for their efforts.

While many Irish firms pay expensive consultants to find ways of saving money, Glanmore Foods took on the expertise of St Catherine’s Senior Girls’ School in Cabra, on Dublin’s northside.

After visiting their lunch suppliers’ factory and speaking to staff, the green- schools committee came up with a number of suggestions on how the company could cut energy costs and reduce its carbon footprint.
