28 Ways to Save the World

On last week’s episode we spoke about Net Zero and how it might be achieved on an individual, community and national level.
But whilst it’s all very well and good to talk about how we might theoretically accomplish these goals, as the old saying goes actions speak louder than words.
So we decided to go visit a community that is actively making Net Zero a priority. This week we’re visiting Cape Clear off the coast of County Cork to see how their Green Energy Transition and sustainability initiatives have been playing out on a community level.

In this episode we’re talking about Net Zero.
Whether it’s the UN, Ireland, the company you work for or your neighbour, it seems that everyone is striving for it. But what exactly does that entail?
We’ll be going from micro to macro as we look at what needs to be done by individuals, communities and nations to balance the carbon books.

In this episode we’re talking about extreme weather and what we can do to mitigate its effects.
So far 2026 has been a year of extreme weather in Ireland with one of the wettest Januarys on record being followed by a similarly rain soaked start to February.
So why is this happening and what, if anything, can we do about it?

On this episode of 28 Ways to Save the World, we’re focusing on community action and engagement, exploring how local groups and residents are tackling environmental challenges through practical, grassroots solutions. From neighbourhood initiatives to countywide programs, we examine the projects delivering real impact, how you can get involved, and what they mean for the future of our environment.

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?
