We travel north to Nuuk in Greenland to speak with Mie S Winding Department Head of the Greenland Climate Research Centre to discuss glaciers, ocean ice and more.

0:29:12 | June 3rd, 2025
Professor Pete Lunn is the founder and head of the ESRI’s Behavioural Research Unit. A behavioural economist, Pete’s primary research interest is how people make judgements and decisions that affect environmental, financial and health outcomes. Today we discuss the climate crisis to ask why we find it so hard to adapt our behaviours.
Ep 91 – Laughing While Crying
0:22:04 | May 27th, 2025
Stuart Goldsmith is a comedian who has made the climate crisis the main topic of his standup. We spoke with him about how to communicate your fears, help people be better informed about our environment, and create change from a very different perspective.
Ep 90 – Which lie did I tell?
0:23:39 | May 19th, 2025
Today’s episode is all about Disinformation. Particularly around the climate crisis. We discuss how you tell fact from opinion, media literacy, memes and what exactly an “alternative fact” could be.

Last week saw the Dublin City Finals of Junk Kouture, the sustainable fashion event open to 12-19 year-olds that challenges them to create high end Kouture from recycled Junk.

It’s Bike week from this Saturday, so the Ecolution team wound our way to the foothills of the Dublin Mountains, St. Colmcille’s Senior National School in Knocklyon, to meet some of their students at its launch and ask why cycling means so much to them.
Ep 87 – Forest Bathing

On a sunny morning in Fernhill, third class from Stepaside Educate Together National School stepped into the forest to take part in something called forest bathing.

This is so good! We love to get out into the forest and enjoy some quiet time, but alas I think we might just be bringing the noise with us ha
