Friday  5th of  June was World Environment Day. Having just finished an Environment Information afternoon at Newcastle Community Cinema, Lion President  Beth Cairnduff accompanied by  Lion Dan O'Reilly accepted an invite to Collins Aerospace to promote  spectacle  recycling. Recycling of glasses was only one  small part of the promotion by Collins for WED. Other events the  staff  were encourages to participate in were, volunteering to clean beaches, promoting the environment message through  taking  part in  a quiz and  donating unwanted  uniforms. Lion Beth was able to tell interested  staff, that  as  well as  donating  spectacles in  their  factory,  the  Lions had  collection  bins in  Newcastle library, the  GPs in Castlewellan and Newcastle,  as well as  bins in  McGloin's and  Specsexpress opticians.

From  talking to the staff, the Lions took home the core  message of Collins which was, Collins Aerospace specializes in advanced structures, avionics, interiors, mission systems and power and control systems that serve customers across the commercial, regional, business aviation and military sectors. Our Environment, Health & Safety policy establishes core tenets to help conserve natural resources across our business. Lion President Beth thanked the Environment staff for the great work they were doing to promote Environmental awareness and Recyling.
