Eco-Unesco, Ireland’s leading environmental education and youth organisation is inviting young environmentalists from Dublin to take part in the 'Young Environmentalist Awards (YEA) 2025/2026' with registration now officially open. National Director Elaine Nevin talks about how these awards support youth led projects that address some of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time.
Every household in Ireland is responsible for 117kgs of food waste per year which equates to between €400 and €1,000 per household per year thrown into the bin. This is not just a waste of money, it’s also costing the earth. Food waste sent to landfill does not harmlessly break down but instead releases methane, a greenhouse gas 25 times more potent than carbon dioxide. Dr Joanne Rourke, Resource Efficiency Officer at 'My Waste' advises on how to manage our household waste easily, responsibly and efficiently.
