Maeve currently works as a full time archaeologist. Protecting the Natural World is her passion. She has been attempting a zero waste lifestyle for 4 years. She stopped buying Fast Fashion in 2018 and relies on 2nd hand shops, clothes swaps and friends closet clearances for her wardrobe staples. She has reduced her meat consumption dramatically and drives a hybrid car in an effort to reduce her carbon footprint. Maeve is also trained as a Forest School instructor in an effort to educate the younger generation about the beauty of nature and why it is worth protecting.  

​

In 2018 Maeve moved from Dublin to a cottage in Cavan with the intention of becoming self-sufficient using the ideals of permaculture to grow vegetables. She had a rude awakening! Pests and disease are harder to control than she realised without insecticides, weeds just keep on growing and grass forever needs to be cut ! Suffice it to say, she is not yet self sufficient and the garden is a work in progress! However, there are 13 very happy and plump chickens roaming the garden.

​

Moving from a big city to Cavan, Maeve struggled to keep to her Zero Waste ideals. It required visits to multiple different shops and deliveries from Zero Waste stores in Dublin to keep her plastic consumption at a minimum.  That is when Maeve realised she would love to set up a Zero Waste shop in Cavan.
