Monday October 10th is World Mental Health Day* which aims to raise public awareness about mental health issues.

Changing Ireland’ has become the greenest magazine in Ireland. While we're celebrating, we are shocked to find ourselves leading the way. “‘Changing Ireland’ finds is now ahead of a range of popular commercial magazines that weigh down the shop-shelves with paper from virgin forests and inks derived from heavy chemicals. We should be following their lead into a greener world, not showing them the way,” said editor Allen Meagher. ‘Changing Ireland’, Issue 27, is the publication’s first ‘green issue’. The new edition is now on the web: www.changingireland.ie and the paper version is due out from Monday, Nov. 10th and it is available in Eason’s or directly by contacting ‘Changing Ireland’. read full story / add a comment
