Calling all Kildare & Wicklow Secondary Schools!
We are beyond thrilled to spring into February on a very positive note!
In collaboration with KWETB Training Services (Kildare/Wicklow Education & Training Board of Ireland) we are presenting an online Environmental Education programme to secondary schools.
This pilot project allows us to bring the “Build your future Fifty Shades Greener” programme to secondary schools from Kildare and Wicklow counties of Ireland and is completely funded by KWETB, so at absolutely no cost to the school.
We are seeking teachers that want to involve their class on this 'first of its kind' project.
This programme is taught through video based tutorials, practical lessons and action based learning in a fun and interactive way. It teaches the student how they can achieve a lower carbon footprint lifestyle, as well as reducing their household’s energy, waste & water costs. This vital knowledge can then be applied to their schools and even at their future workplaces.
The Fifty Shades Greener team will provide full online support to the students for the duration of this programme. The programme itself consists of 2 hours ‘watch time’ of video lessons and an average of 14 hours ‘at home’ implementation.
As current lockdown restrictions and school closures continue, this is a fantastic opportunity for students who are currently at home, to undertake this programme and implement it in their own households.
This project is the first of its kind in Ireland, bringing an online environmental education programme to our classrooms and ensuring younger generations understand the small changes they can apply in their daily lives to achieve a true green recovery as a society.
Through the education of the workforce of tomorrow, we stand a much better chance as an Irish society of achieving our lower carbon emission targets set after the Paris Agreement.

The green wave is here to stay!

Who We Are: Fifty Shades Greener
Sustainability with a side of sass!
At Fifty Shades Greener, we’re not your typical sustainability crowd. Here, green isn’t just a color; it’s a lifestyle, and we live it with a bit of cheek and a lot of heart. Our team, a quirky blend of lifelong greenies, seasoned educators, and fresh innovators, believes that every little bit helps and that education is the cornerstone of sustainable change. Born from a simple idea in a hotel’s green team meeting, we've grown into a vibrant community passionate about turning the hospitality world a shade greener. We think greenwashing is as outdated as last season's fashion and are here to ensure sustainability is as authentic as it is actionable. From the early days in Doolin to the bustling workshops of today, our journey has been about making sustainability accessible, understandable, and, dare we say, fun. We don't just throw jargon around; we break it down with practical advice and real-world actions that everyone, from hotel managers to cafe owners, can take. So, whether you’re looking to start your green journey or you're trying to make your business a beacon of sustainability, we’ve got the know-how and the can-do attitude to help you make it happen. And while we’re serious about what we do, we believe a little humor goes a long way. After all, if you can’t have a laugh while saving the planet, when can you? Join us as we continue to write our story, one green step at a time. Here’s to making sustainability not just a necessity, but a norm. Ready to add a little green to your scene? Dive in—the water’s fine, and it’s getting greener by the minute!
