If you think you’re powerless against climate change and that one person can’t make a difference, we urge you to think again.

So, what can you do to help?

 1. Stop using disposable cups

In Ireland alone, we dispose over 22,000 of these cups every single hour. Get yourself a reusable cup and you can save money, as well as the planet.

2. Cut down on single-use plastic
Soft plastic cannot be recycled, and plastic bags risk escaping into the environment via landfill sites. Swap disposable bottles and shopping bags for reusable ones and do your bit for the planet. 

3. Use energy wisely

Small energy savings can quickly add up to both protect the environment and save you money. These include changing to energy-efficient light bulbs, installing heat pumps in the home and washing clothes at lower temperatures.

4. Eat less meat

In October 2018, scientists warned that a massive reduction in meat eating is essential to avoid the breakdown of the earth’s climate. Our reliance on beef, pork, milk and eggs needs to drop sharply, as the earth’s population continues to swell.

5. Go Green for Concern!

On 13 March, we’re asking the people of Ireland to Go Green for Concern. Green jumpers, green cakes, green shoes – no matter how green you go, the money you raise will help communities affected by climate change.
