Phibsboro Village Tidy Towns
Phibsboro Village Tidy Towns is a great community driven organisation. Throughout the year we have enjoyed helping out by teaming up with them on community clean ups, providing a space & refreshments towards various events in the past & this year sponsoring lamp post flower baskets for the local phibsboro streets.
Bohemian F.C
As ‘the oldest Football club in Ireland’ & Dalymount Park only around the corner from us, we have happily sponsored Bohs FC over the last four years. With local fan support as mighty as can be, match days are never to be missed! You can catch the team & crew from time to time at The Back Page having some scrumptious food & refreshments
Bring The Toys – Temple Street
One of our favourite annual events has to be Bring The Toys in aid of Temple Street Children’s Hospital. Every year, our community & customers have generously donated hundreds of toys. We hold our ‘Bring The Toys’ drive the same night as The Late Late Toy Show ( in late November) and have a drop off point right up until Christmas week.
Greentonic
What’s Greentonic you ask? It’s an extension of Bodytonic which focuses on all aspects of being green/reducing waste/energy efficient/environmentally friendly. We want to reduce our waste, remove single use plastic, be environmentally friendly and overall try to make the world (or our gaff for now) a better place. We got rid of plastic straws and single use plastic cups. We’ve got reusable plastic cups and metal straws for our events, which not only look the business but reduce our plastic waste. We’ve also banned takeaway coffee cups in the office – Keep Cups all round’ baby. We’re also learning day by day, getting things wrong, making mistakes, and trying to make things right. If you have any ideas or see us doing silly things we can easily improve on, please let us know, we’re open to learning and doing as much as we can – info@bodytonicmusic.com
Eco-Bricks
Eco-brick building, a recent initiative at The Back Page and across all BT venues. It’s a great way to reduce plastic waste, one of our many ways to help the world be that little bit greener
Eco-bricks are used to make modular furniture, garden spaces & full scale buildings such as schools & houses! Check out 5 steps below and be on your way to building your own eco-brick! Drop into our bar or give it a go at building your own chair or table!
- Save dry, clean, non-biodegradable, non-recyclable materials such as foil from tea bags, crisps and sweets, old photos, styrofoam bits, fruit & veg plastic wrappers, wax paper, cling film, plastic tags, packaging stickers & tape.
- Find a clean / dry 1.75ml or 2L bottle with lid.
- Use a stick or the skinny side of a wooden spoon to press the waste into the bottle.
- Fill the bottle tightly to the top with compressed matter (it should feel really robust)
- Put the lid back on and pat yourself on the back – you have just built an eco-brick!
GYO
Grow Your Own – Over the last few years we have designated GYO areas at The Back Page. Reusing coffee grinds from our cafe as a fertiliser mixed with soil, we have been able to grow plenty of flowers to help the bee’s , fresh mint that we have been able to use in our , blackberries / raspberries & hops!
Neptune Regatta
We’re proud sponsors of the Neptune Rowing Club’s Neptune Regatta, founded in 1908, they are located on the River Liffey at Islandbridge, Dublin. It is one of the largest clubs in Ireland, steeped in history.
TerraCycle – Crips Packet Scheme
TerraCycle is a company across the world that recycle ‘non – recyclable’ goods. One thing they collect are crips packets! With the crisp packets, they separate them by plastic type and turn into plastic pellets to help build new recyclable goods. With plenty of packets of crips being consumed within the bar, it’s a small but great way to help reduce waste! Have any crisp packets you would like to add to the collection? feel free to pop into the bar & drop off
