A new environmental radio series, EcoMatters
An environmental radio series, EcoMatters, will be broadcast as part of Claremorris Community Radio’s new Summer schedule. Claremorris businesses involved in green enterprises such as renewable energy, insulation and energy rating are featured.
The first programme on Saturday 26th June showcases the Green School activities of Gaelscoil Uileog de Burca and Mount St Michael Secondary School. Sharon Cameron, Mayo County Council’s Environmental Awareness Officer advises on how to be greener at home with recycling, composting and buying wisely.
The second programme in the series highlights the benefits of growing our own vegetables. Horticulturalist John Whittle talks about how to get started in the garden. Andy Wilson, Westport-based editor of Sustainability magazine talks about the growing popularity of community allotments and gardens. A new commercial horticulture project based in Claremorris, funded by the Arthur Guinness Fund and Clar ICH is also featured. The ‘Growing Locally’ project is the first of its kind in Ireland and will provide employment and training on growing fruit and vegetables on a commercial scale.
The 3rd programme looks at renewable energy firms Eco Logics and Mastertherm who talk about solar, wood pellet and heat pump systems for their home heating. Mike Trench of MCM Consulting explains how the energy rating scheme works. We hear about the Warmer Homes Scheme operated by Clar ICH where older people can avail of free house insulation.
The programme will be broadcast at 2pm over three Saturdays starting on Saturday 26th June on Claremorris Community Radio 94.6FM and is available to listen to online at www.claremorriscommunityradio.ie
