About Me:

Trim 2025 is a community initiative based on the Transition Towns model that aims to promote sustainable prosperity by maximizing local resources and assisting local institutions, businesses and individuals to reduce their dependence on fossil fuels. They aspire to helping the town achieve Carbon Neutral status over the next fifteen years. The group will support all aspects of sustainable social and economic development – for example, food production and adding value to local produce, generating electricity, conservation, heritage, tourism, music and the arts.
The group expects that Trim will be perceived as a green town as well as an exciting place to live – giving the town a competitive edge in attracting new business, tourists and residents. By embracing the green economy they hope to create sustainable employment and prosperity, while enhancing quality of life. Trim 2025 hope to establish strong links with other Transition Towns and encourage new communities to take on board the challenges of facing up to climate change and post peak oil living.
Trim 2025 aspires to help Trim achieve Carbon Neutral status over the next fifteen years and is already working closely with a growing number of institutions such as the Trim Town Council, Chamber of Commerce, Tidy Towns, Trim GAA Club and local businesses including, Mahons Recycling, The Priory Inn, IFG Financials, An Troman, Marcy Regans, Donie Quinn Taxis, The Bounty Bar, Trim Credit Union, Fox’s Bookmakers & Haggard Art Gallery.
