Northern Ireland-based construction firm Farrans has hosted a variety of activities to mark World Earth Day 2022.
The celebration on Friday 22 April saw the Farrans team join Business in the Community Northern Ireland by volunteering in the gardens of Kilcreggan Urban Farm in Carrickfergus.
Kilcreggan offers bespoke packages of support and care to people with a Learning Disability, Autistic Spectrum Conditions (ASC) or Acquired Brain Injury. Together Farrans helped plant 1,800 seedlings, paint a pig sty and paint a stable.
Farrans employees were gifted with a tree of three varieties, each selected to best support wildlife through habitat and food. When it's grown, each tree will absorb as much as 48 pounds of carbon dioxide per year. This means it will sequester approximately 1tonne of C02e by the time its fully grown.
The firm also took part in UCS Sustainability Open Evening on 21 April 2022 hosted by UCS Senior School Green Impact Group in Camden.
The event marking World Earth Day was organised by the Camden Clean Air Initiative and forms part of their wider programme of community and stakeholder activities that aim to achieve improved air quality for the Borough of Camden.
