Episode 147

This week on Let’s Go Green with Aisling O’Rourke on Midlands 103, we’re looking at how environmental challenges are being investigated, understood and tackled, from our rivers to our recycling bins. Caroline O’Doherty, Climate and Science Correspondent with the Irish Times, joins me to discuss the mystery surrounding a major fish kill in County Cork. We explore what is known so far, how incidents like this are investigated, and the wider implications for water quality and regulation. Dr Compost, also known as Craig Benton, joins us to help improve how we manage our waste at home. From recycling myths to composting tips, he breaks down how to reduce confusion and get it right. And Tom Popple joins me to talk about the Climate Carnival taking place in Laois this week. With events, workshops and activities for all ages, it’s a chance for communities to come together and learn more about climate action in a fun and engaging way.
