Whilst many of us travel over the Liffey regularly, how often have you considered the life the river itself holds? Today we investigate the magic of the Liffey on a Currach. And connect through time with a man who grew up on its waters in the 60s and a family who now live on its banks at Islandbridge. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In this episode of Ecolution we discuss why now is the perfect time for us to truly act on decarbonisation. We speak with Garry Walsh of Oxfam on the impacts felt on the ground and visit the Eco Unesco YEA’s to hear solutions being put forward by the students of Ireland. Plus, Dublin Bus on going electric.
From kayaking on the Lakes of Killarney to discovering hidden adventures closer to home, Max and Sonny explore why spending time outdoors matters.

Did you know that Ireland has the lowest level of tree cover in the whole of Europe? Less than 10% of our landmass is covered in trees with less than one percent made up of native woodlands. This week on Ecolution we meet Hometree, a nature restoration charity working to restore resilient habitats. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Every year, on the 20th of May we take the time to celebrate one of the most important pollinators the world has. The humble bee. And this year we headed to a spot you wouldn’t immediately associate with bees; a Dublin Bus Garage in Phibsborough. There we met Irwin and Paul, two employees turned volunteer beekeepers.
