Episode 169

This week on Let’s Go Green with Aisling O’Rourke on Midlands 103, we’re focusing on community action, sustainability and practical steps you can take at home. Climate Ambassador Laurence O’Reilly joins me to talk about the EU Climate Pact and how it is supporting communities to become more sustainability and biodiversity minded. We discuss how individuals and groups can get involved and make a real impact locally. Amanda Glancy of SIRO tells us about the launch of this year’s School Pollinator Project, encouraging students and schools to take simple but meaningful steps to support pollinators across Ireland. Niamh Kelly of Repak shares practical advice on how to recycle your Easter egg packaging correctly, helping to reduce waste during the holiday period. And Let’s Go Green listener Sean Hynes joins me to talk about his ambition to create a community garden in Tullamore. We explore what is involved and how local support can help bring projects like this to life. Tune in every Monday night at 7pm on Midlands 103 or listen back on your preferred podcast platform.
