Community and Environment
In 2001, because of their Community involvement, both Karen and Kris were nominated for an award under Sligo Co. Council Cathaoirleach's Awards Scheme, because of their principal role in starting up a campaign for better quality (fluoride-free) water in the North-West region. During that time, together with Dr. Don McAuley and Walter Graham, they made three separate presentations to Sligo, Leitrim and Donegal County Councils, concerning this politically sensitive and controversial issue.
Karen and Kris commitment to betterment of community-based services for children was reflected in their co-founding with Sandra Bruce of the Steiner Waldorf Kindergarten in Ballymote in 2002, which is still running.
Their work also supports voluntary activities of Amma Ireland (Reg. Charity No. CHY 15299)
In 2004, Kris following his interest in the field of alternative energy production and environmental matters, he participated and completed a course presented by Waterford Institute of Technology, called Sustainable Environmental Education & Development (S.E.E.D.). Kris is currently working on the new information project called New Era Sustainable Technologies (N.E.S.T.), in which he will introduce very effective and innovative ideas supporting alternatives to oil and gas as well as advanced water.
