Our Energy, Our Future – Young Irish People speak Out
Educational infographic – The Natural Power of Wind’
In September 2021 more than 104,000 copies of the attached wind energy education poster will be carried across a number of regional newspapers.
The infographic which is printed on recycled paper, in full colour, will be printed in English on one side and Irish on the other. It is A3 in size and our hope is that it will be used in homes and classrooms across the country.
We also have downloadable PDF here for you to download and print.
Have you seen our animated video The Power of Wind – Ireland and Climate Change?
Here are some colouring and fact sheets to get working on afterwards.
We would love to see your results. Please share with us on our social media channels or by emailing This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
