Whether inspired by nature, local heritage, community spirit, sustainability initiatives or everyday actions, we want to hear your unique perspective.<\/p>\n<p>\ud83c\udf0d Climate action is not just about global challenges. It is also about the small, positive changes we make in our homes, neighbourhoods and communities. Through poetry, participants are invited to reflect on how we can all contribute to a more sustainable future by rethinking how we live, reusing resources and repairing rather than replacing.<\/p>\n<p>\u2728 Poetry has the power to inspire, connect people and spark important conversations. This competition celebrates creativity, storytelling and the valuable experiences and insights that older members of our community can share.<\/p>\n<p>\ud83c\udfc6 The winning poem will receive a prize, and selected entries may be showcased as part of Monaghan Climate Action Week 2026 celebrations.<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udc9a Celebrate creativity, sustainability and local action.<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udcc5 <strong>Closing Date:<\/strong> 23<sup>rd<\/sup> September 2026<\/p>\n<p>\ud83c\udf31 Funded through the Decarbonising Zone (DZ) Demonstrator Fund, supported by the Government of Ireland.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u267b\ufe0f Act Local: Rethink, Reuse, Repair &nbsp; \ud83c\udf3f What does &#8220;Act Local: Rethink, Reuse, Repair&#8221; mean to you?
