VOICE of Irish Concern for the Environment (VOICE) is one of Ireland's leading independent environmental organisations, established following the closure of Greenpeace Ireland. Since our foundation we have continued the vital work of campaigning for the Irish environment.

VOICE spearheaded action in 1998, calling for a tax on plastic bags to end the huge annual waste of plastic. The tax was successfully introduced in 2002.



VOICE is promoting long-term solutions to our waste crisis, such as waste prevention, recycling and reuse.



VOICE is leading the campaign for safe, clean water. We want to end the fluoridation of our drinking water. We want to end the pollution of our waters and seas.



VOICE is playing a key role in the establishment of a sustainable forestry management standard for Ireland and continues to all for the planting of more native trees.
