I love following Plastic free Kinsale on Facebook, plenty of useful tips and reminders for our family as to how to reduce our plastic use/ misuse. Am trying to turn our home into a “much reduced plastic user”. Keep up the good work ladies.

Previously I never really considered the cradle to grave aspect of what I consume, now I do. Your page is constantly teaching me in the little details that I simply wouldn’t have known. You are a constant reminder to me to focus on the positive. It is good to know that in a world so obsessed with endless consumption, that there is a powerful community of people committed to driving change.

I’ve learned so much from Change by degrees I always bring a cotton bag for my loose fruit and veg. That way I minimize the amount of plastic that I use. Thank you girls x

I’ve been very impressed by the manner in which you have caught the Zeitgeist and made it an essential of people’s daily lives. I particularly admire your community spirit in organising beach clean-ups where everyone gets involved. The sky’s the limit!

You have changed the way I practically deal with the issue of recycling/minimizing my impact on the world!
