Previously, we have designed an English language version of eco-code poster which shares many water-saving tips. The poster was firstly published on our website and social media and posted across campus in both hard copies and digital format.
Due to the COVID19 pandemic, over the past months, we have all been adjusting our routines and behaviours to slow down the spread of the coronavirus. During the period, we also experienced water shortages in Ireland. We had only 25% of normal rainfall in April and decreased 5% of normal rainfall for May. We thought the sharing of these water-saving tips could also remind everyone making a small effort to collectively create a positive impact on our environment. To further promote these water-saving tips, we converted the poster into a Gaelic language version. These tips circulated to the mailing list of the Sustainability Network at Trinity College Dublin and were well received on many social media such as Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
Following a positive response from social media, we also designed a Welsh language version of the eco-code poster. Now, these water-saving tips are communicated in three languages.
