Today on ‘Ours To Protect’ John Morley talks to Michael O'Boyle of Cycle Friendly Ireland and Justine Delaney of Genesys about the Galway company's European Cycle Friendly Employer Gold Star award. == Did you know… Genesys Ireland has been certified as a European Cycle Friendly Employer? Many companies across Europe are being recognized as Cycle-Friendly Employers. This certification program ensures workplaces support employees who choose to cycle to work. Cycling to work is good for the environment, your health, and can even save you money on transportation costs. Why is it important that employers become cycle friendly? Cycling is a healthy activity, leading to fitter, happier employees. Studies show reduced sick days and improved overall health in employees who cycle to work. By encouraging cycling, employers can significantly reduce their carbon footprint. This combats climate change and promotes a greener company image. Less reliance on car parking translates to lower costs for employers. Additionally, employees save money on commuting expenses. What can I do to help support cycle friendly employers? At your own work, talk to colleagues and managers about cycling to work. Gauge their openness to the idea. Look into resources like Cycle Friendly Employer programs or cycling advocacy groups in your area. Present information on the benefits for both employees and the company. Many companies display certifications or logos. Give them your patronage and mention their cycling initiatives in positive reviews.

Ours to Protect is a unique and exciting audio project – a collaboration of local and regional broadcasters from across the country who have come together to tackle climate change, champion climate action, and inform and educate audiences all over Ireland about how they can make a difference. Today on ‘Ours To Protect’ John Morley talks to Conall O'Cuinn about the EU Citizens Panel on Energy Efficiency which he was randomly selected to take part in. == Did you know… Conaill Ó Cuinn, a Galway man, was randomly selected to be part of the EU Citizens Panel on Energy Efficiency days after purchasing an electric car. The European Citizens’ Panel on Energy Efficiency took place over three weekends between February and April 2024. The European Citizens’ Panel on Energy Efficiency has now submitted its recommendations to the European Commission. Why is it important for the EU to have a Citizens’ Panel on Energy Efficiency? The panel brings together a diverse group of citizens from across the member states. This allows the EU to gather public perspectives and lived experiences on energy efficiency. Citizens with no prior experience in policy creation can bring fresh perspectives and innovative solutions to the table. They might propose approaches that policymakers wouldn't have considered otherwise. By involving citizens in the discussion, the EU can build trust and public ownership of energy efficiency goals. When people feel they've had a say in shaping policies, they're more likely to support and comply with them. What can I do to support the EU Citizens’ Panel on Energy Efficiency? The European Commission website allows you to contact them directly [Europa.eu website]. You can express your support for citizen engagement in policymaking and encourage them to continue initiatives like the Citizens' Panel. There are many ways to save energy at home and in your daily activities. Research energy-saving tips and implement them in your own life. Look for NGOs and advocacy groups working on energy efficiency issues in the EU. Here’s a few websites if you want to know more!

Ours to Protect is a unique and exciting audio project – a collaboration of local and regional broadcasters from across the country who have come together to tackle climate change, champion climate action, and inform and educate audiences all over Ireland about how they can make a difference. Today on ‘Ours To Protect’ John Morley talks to Dr. Noel Doyle, Project Lead from Leave No Trace Ireland about how best to protect our coastlines from pollution. == Did you know… Leave No Trace Ireland have launched a new course to empower local communities to protect their coast in Galway. The course will visit Dog’s Bay in Roundstone, Galway on the 27th April and the 18th The ‘Beaches & Dunes for Climate Adaptation course’ will emphasize the vital role of sand dune ecosystems in coastal protection and habitat preservation. Why is it important for communities to protect their coastlines from pollution? Pollution harms delicate marine ecosystems, disrupting food chains and harming wildlife. Clean coastlines mean healthy fish populations and a thriving natural environment. Polluted water can be unsafe for swimming and other activities, posing a risk of illness. Clean beaches are essential for safe recreation and tourism. Coastlines with healthy sand dunes and natural vegetation act as barriers, protecting communities from flooding and erosion caused by storms and rising sea levels. What can I do to help protect my community’s coastline from pollution? You can sign up to Leave No Trace’s course to learn more about protecting your community’s coastline. In addition to the Galway course, there are two courses in Co. Donegal, as well as one in Sligo and Mayo respectively. Reduce your impact on your coastlines by always packing out all your rubbish and avoid leaving anything behind on the beach and sticking to designated paths on beaches and avoid trampling on sand dunes or delicate vegetation. Many organizations hold regular cleanups. Lend a hand and make a direct impact on your coastline.

Ours to Protect is a unique and exciting audio project – a collaboration of local and regional broadcasters from across the country who have come together to tackle climate change, champion climate action, and inform and educate audiences all over Ireland about how they can make a difference. Today on ‘Ours To Protect’ John Morley talks to Rosina Joyce, Biodiversity Officer with Galway County Council, about Galway landowners being offered ‘hassle-free’ support to create more space for nature on their land. == Did you know… · The Hare's Corner initiative, coordinated by Burren-based landscape charity Burrenbeo Trust and the Biodiversity Office of Galway County Council, is launching a funding scheme to support landowners and community groups in undertaking nature-positive measures on their lands. · The Hare's Corner project offers landowners 'hassle-free' support to carry out simple but impactful actions for biodiversity, such as creating a wildlife pond, native mini-woodland, heritage mini-orchard with apple trees, or a bespoke 'plan for nature' or 'peatland plan' for their site. · The Hare's Corner project in Co. Galway in 2024 will be funded by Galway County through the Local Biodiversity Action Fund by National Parks and Wildlife Service and by Greencoat Renewables PLC. Why is it important for landowners to create space for nature on their land? · Having access to nature has been shown to have a number of benefits for human health and well-being. · Creating space for nature can also help to make land more sustainable in the long term. For example, planting trees can help to reduce soil erosion and improve air quality. · County Galway has a rich natural heritage, and creating space for nature helps to support biodiversity What can I do to help create space for nature on land? · You don't have to create a nature reserve overnight. Start with a small project and build on your success. · Take a walk around your property and observe what kind of existing habitat you have (trees, hedges, ponds, etc.) Make note of any areas that could be improved for wildlife. · Plant native trees, shrubs, and wildflowers to create a food source and habitat for pollinators (bees, butterflies) and birds.

Ours to Protect is a unique and exciting audio project – a collaboration of local and regional broadcasters from across the country who have come together to tackle climate change, champion climate action, and inform and educate audiences all over Ireland about how they can make a difference. Today on ‘Ours To Protect’ John Morley talks to Ria Kearney, Managing Director of Anthesis Ireland about how they help in a consultancy capacity to make businesses more sustainable.    Did you know… Anthesis Ireland advises businesses on how to improve their environmental performance and become more sustainable. This can involve areas like waste management, energy efficiency, and reducing their carbon footprint. They also use digital tools and technology to help businesses implement sustainable practices. This might involve creating sustainability dashboards or using data analytics to track progress. They help businesses integrate sustainability into their overall purpose and strategy. This can involve helping them develop a sustainability vision and mission statement and aligning their operations with those goals. Why is it important for businesses to become more sustainable? Irish consumers are increasingly looking to support businesses that are environmentally friendly. Studies show a significant portion of people prioritize sustainability when making purchasing decisions. Sustainability can also lead to cost savings for businesses. By reducing waste, using energy more efficiently, and implementing renewable energy sources, businesses can lower their operational costs. Governments around the world, including Ireland, are implementing stricter regulations to address climate change and environmental concerns. By becoming more sustainable, Irish businesses can avoid potential fines or legal issues down the line. What can I do help push businesses become more sustainable? Favour sustainable products and services whenever possible. Look for certifications like Fairtrade or organic to identify these options. Show your preference by patronizing businesses that prioritize sustainability. Share content from businesses with strong sustainability practices. Use social media to encourage businesses you follow to consider a more sustainable approach.
