28 Ways to Save the World

On this week’s show we’ll be doing something a little different. We’re going to take a look at the innovations and technologies of the future that could have a big impact on our fight against climate change.
Are there scientific solutions that can help us with the great challenges that lie ahead and what will it take to make them part of the answer?

In this episode of 28 Ways to Save the World it’s time for spring cleaning. Clearing out feels good but where does all that stuff actually go? What about the things that don’t belong in the green or brown bins? And if we don’t need something anymore, does that really mean it’s rubbish? From eco-friendly swaps to smarter ways to declutter without sending it all to landfill, we’re talking about how to clean up our homes and our habits, sustainably.

In this episode we’re talking about parenting. Raising a child is challenging and that’s before you add the hurdle of trying to do so in an environmentally conscious way.
So what practical changes can we make to ensure a happy home and a healthy planet? And just how do we explain to our kids the intricacies and importance of fighting climate change?

In this episode we’re talking about the beauty industry. We all want to look our best and a massive multi billion euro multi national industry has arisen to try to help us do that. But are all of the creams and gels and sprays we use good for the planet or for that matter, are they even good for us?
Could a more glamorous you be contributing to a less beautiful planet?

In this episode we’re going to be talking about sport. 2026 is a year in which we can look forward to a football world cup, a new international rugby tournament in the Nations Championship as well as all the usual annual competitions that punctuate the year for all of us sports fans.
But is there a price to pay for the games we play? Is sustainability a consideration for sporting organisations and what steps are being taken to ensure the planet doesn’t lose when we compete?
