Below is a press release sent to 10 local media outlets, covering Donegal's 130,000+ population. The Tara issue, the Corrib gas field and many other assaults on Irish life continue to be ignored by the national media. Local media is usually quite stale but very open to alternative news, so long as it has a local slant. Politicians are great users of local media but activists are often to busy lambasting Fox news to notice. You can localise easily by (a) keeping it simple (b) making it easy on the journo (email it etc) and vitally (c) puttting a local slant on it.... / this applies of all issues - war, environment etc. And remember, local elections around the corner - they don't like their names in the paper! ... read full story / add a comment

Bank of Ireland have achieved their target to recycle 80% of all waste generated in their Head Office in Baggot Street. They began recycling waste in June 2003 and for the past 8 months they have recycled :- * 62 tonnes of cardboard - the equivalent of 992 trees. * 83.33 tonnes of paper. * Saved 1,720 cubic metres of landfill. They now plan to improve waste segregation at source to improve things further and cut the costs of recycling. There are NO under-desk rubbish bins in any of the three buildings; staff have no choice but to recycle all waste. Here's hoping other organisations follow suit. ... read full story / add a comment
