Inspired by the Eco-Eye series hosted by Duncan Stewart and Cathy Fitzgerald with her focus on "resiliencies: stories of transformation from a small Irish forest." They represent citizens who are involved in communicating with their communities, both local and national, with an effort to educate and inform around issues ranging from water to energy conservation to management of food production and forests.

"The Green Fireman" with Neil McCabe |
Using public monies to reduce carbon footprint, practice energy conservation, and raise the environmental awareness among citizens in Ireland. €9 billion is spent by the public sector on goods and services annually in Ireland! Dublin fireman Neil McCabe showed how with a little ingenuity, this money could result in environmentally friendly buildings and huge cost savings to the public sector but will local authorities and the government take notice. Thats €100bn in spending in the next 10 years, shouldnt that money be spend on local, environmentally sound, clean products and services? Moving to a green economy is a low carbon economy.
