GOING FORWARD WITH THE EPA

The Environmental Protection Agency is more than a valued client.  The EPA is a real joy to design for, with so much scope for creativity and so many projects with which to expand on the environmental theme. More..

 

INTRODUCING 'THE MAGAZINES'

To date we have not mentioned that Yellowstone has a stable of
magazines for whom we have worked over a number of years.

Housing Times, the magazine for Homebond and an 8 year relationship with Yellowstone.

TIAFT Bulletin, the international journal of Forensic Toxicology.

And a recent arrival is Irish Home Builders Association Newsletter.

LIBRARIES & HERITAGE

Dublin City Libraries organise and facilitate many public events on an annual basis, and Yellowstone’s interest in cultural and heritage projects in the City has found a real synergy in this valued working relationship.

In the past year, Yellowstone has been commissioned to develop a series of programmes on behalf of Dublin City Council Libraries & Archives, and throughout the city, aimed at increasing participation. A recent publication, “New Children’s Books in Irish” has achieved a great response from the public.

The Spring Issue

Yellowstone Keeps Its Promise

Once we discovered that our primary energy source – electricity – is a huge carbon contributor (see Carbon Calculators in our Christmas issue)  we realised that just making ‘energy savings’ wasn’t enough;  we either had to find an alternative energy source OR a renewable energy source - so we opted for green electricity.

Generating electricity using wind turbines is the fastest growing method of electricity generation, and although there are concerns regarding its cost efficiency–these will no doubt be addressed over time when economies of scale make an impact' .

Supporting Fair Trade - A Fair Chance

March 1st was the launch of FairTrade Fortnight, supported by both the Dublin City and the Lord Mayor, plus numerous cities and towns thoughout the country.

As a gesture of Yellowstones' commitment to encouraging responsible community participation, we are proposing to the next Chamber meeting in March, that Arklow begin the process of becoming a FairTrade Town; joining its neighbouring South East towns of Bray, Greystones and Wexford and the city of Waterford.

Key principals in Yellowstone reside in Wicklow, close to the port town of Arklow and, consequently Yellowstone is a member of the Arklow Chamber of Commerce.

Yellowstone Says No - To Food Miles

Sheila and Leo both know how lucky they are to live on 3/4 acre in Wicklow, where they can grow all their own seasonal fruit and vegetables – BUT, did you know that if you live in the city your local Council may be able to provide you with the same luxury – in the shape of an allotment?

To feel the joy and fight the food miles contact your local County Council in either Dun Laoghaire Rathdown, Dublin South, Fingal or Dublin City itself.

Help preserve our ‘grown heritage’ with the Irish Seed Savers Association.

If you knew something was completely indigenous to your area and you could eat it, you might not be that impressed – BUT with a name like Balbriggan Brussel Sprouts, how could you help but feel intrigued?

The Seed Saver in Scarrif, Co. Clare have been preserving Ireland’s ‘grown heritage’ for many years, quietly but with determination. In February we went down to pick up some apple trees, one's called George … you can cook em early, eat em in season and juice em late. George is a great all rounder.
