Community Campaigns for Sustainable Living
Discover the powerful insights of Community Campaigns for Sustainable Living by Liam Leonard, published by Emerald Publishing Limited in 2011. This compelling hardback, spanning 290 pages, delves into the grassroots movements that challenge waste management policies in Ireland.
