In our seventh podcast episode, we discuss behavioural change. Our amiable and engaging guests for this episode are Dave Brooks, Green-Schools Officer and Padraig Walsh, Behaviour Specialist at ChangAble.

We cover a lot of ground, chatting about accepting change and asking why is it sometimes hard to change. We also look at social norms, how we frame narratives around solutions for better outcomes, language & imagery, eco-anxiety and lots more.

This is a great podcast to also learn more about how we can bring everyone along with us in the seismic changes society needs to take.

Returning with the sixth episode, we look at what is going on at present with Irish biodiversity, focusing the lens through the climate and biodiversity crises. We were delighted to have as our guests for this episode Anja Murray, ecologist and environmental broadcaster on RTE’s EcoEye and Dr. Meabh Boylan, Green-Schools Biodiversity Officer. 

We chat about lots of topics related to Biodiversity and indeed, how all things are connected. Both speakers talk of their love of nature and the many benefits it provides, how having a child-like wonder and curiosity brings real joy to our lives, as well as discussing areas like policy and local community solutions that we can all get involved in. 

Starting the new year with this fifth episode, we pause, to reflect what is going on at present, with rural and urban planning, particularly with the pandemic in our midst, to chat with Niall Cussen, Office of the Planning Regulator (OPR) and Jane Hackett, Manager of both Green-Schools Travel and the Climate Ambassador Programme.

We discuss concepts like the 15 Minute City, Doughnut economics, while also chatting about sustainable transport options and looking into the future, to find out what a sustainable Ireland might look like for our everyday lives, as we go about living in our urban and rural settings. Both speakers provide lots of solutions and give a positive outlook about where we are headed as a country.

On today’s episode we are going to look at climate change in a historical context. 

We are chatting with Professor of Medieval Environmental History at Trinity, Francis Ludlow and Professor Conor Murphy in the Department of Geography at Maynooth University. 

On this episode we are going to look at climate change from a food point of view.

We are chatting with two culinary gurus, Conor Spacey, director of Food Space, and Michelle Darmody, food writer and entrepreneur.
