Highland Radio are delighted to partner with Coimisiún na Meán in launching a new series dealing with various topics on sustainability.
Donna-Marie Doherty of Highland Radio will have a weekly feature on Tuesdays at 12:30 covering a real mix of different topics and interviews with businesses and experts who have a common interest on expertise in sustainability.
Coimisiún na Meán stated; ‘”Ours to Protect”, is a unique and exciting audio project – a collaboration of local and regional broadcasters from across the country who have come together to tackle climate change, champion climate action, and inform and educate audiences all over Ireland about how they can make a difference.’
This week Highland Radio spoke to Eddie Bradley, Climate Ambassador with An Taisce:
Did you know?
- An Taisce set up Ireland’s first ever programme to support those looking to take climate action in 2017 (an taisce)
- To date there have been 1,023 ambassadors and 4,495 actions taken.
- Donegal has 2 climate ambassadors Eddie & Darragh, so there is definitely room for more!
Why it’s important!
- This is the highest levels of carbon dioxide that has been in the atmosphere in 4 million years (climateambassador.ie)
- Up to half of all species could be lost by the end of this century
- 4.5 million Irish people emit the same amount of greenhouse gases as the poorest 400 million people on the planet
These are some of the facts given on the resources page of Climate Ambassaor.ie
If you make changes, the symptoms of climate change can be lessened.
Climate AMbassadors are given training, one on one mentoring and are invited to monthly networking events.
