Speaking at the event Northern Ireland Environment Minister Alex Attwood said: “The environment is one of Northern Ireland’s most valuable and important assets. In the current downturn there is a critical need to both promote resource and energy efficiency and to develop the environment as an asset to grow business, create jobs, attract visitors and build strength.

“As Environment Minister, I will use my powers, not simply to manage but to develop this asset and I have already put steps in motion to ensure this happens sooner rather than later.

“To improve resource efficiency, I intend to avail of all opportunities to promote increased waste reduction and heighten the reuse and recycling messages.”

The organisation recently held its English launch at the Houses of Parliament.
