NARCISSIPS NEWSLETTER – FEBRUARY 2025

Cathal O Reilly

Hello there, its been a while.... 18 months to be exact...

However, our messaging hasn't changed - if you’ve ever doubted that one small change, doesn't make a big impact, we’ve got the numbers to prove you wrong...

As of February 2025, heres our stat sheet:

🚰 16 Fresh Water Wells funded, constructed installed across Malawi
👩‍🏫 225 children benefitting with access to education
💦 2,123 people drinking clean water as you read this
🌳 400 native trees planted in Ireland
♻️ 57 million+ single-use items avoided because of our reusables (based on one reuse per day over a plastic bottle or coffee cup)

Oh, and we just exceeded our goal of donating 2% of annual revenue to clean water, education, and sustainability projects.... hitting 5.59%!

We're a small business, that's ran part-time - I hope that can provide motivation...

Pensions & Climate Change - How to make a real impact!

Cathal O Reilly

Walk more, cycle more, eat less meat...

These are all the typical solutions provided by the majority to reduce our impact on the environment. And yes, this includes me... However, to caveat this, I believe in community, small change and working towards that 1% each day which is what these small habits like walking more are. They are not the silver bullet, but like choosing reusables, they are that 'pat on the back' to say 'I'm trying to do my part'.

When it comes to the bigger picture though, as always - money talks
