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. And Ecolution was there to speak with just some of the finalists. Plus, Clodagh Ramsey from Wilson’s Hospital School, their World Designer of the year in 2024
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.
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. Guided by Orlagh from Forest Bathing Wicklow and Cat from Danu Forest Bathing, the students explored nature in a whole new way – through their senses!
Ecolution is back – and we’re switching off the lights to look to the stars! In this first episode, we head to Wild Nephin National Park in Co. Mayo. A haven for wildlife and a certified Dark Sky Park, it’s the perfect place to explore nature after dark. From nocturnal creatures to the Night Owl crew – get ready to go wild… in the dark!
We went along to Eco-Unesco’s annual, all-Ireland awards programme that recognizes and rewards young people who raise environmental awareness and improve the environment. And what a huge variety of work we found!
This week we shine a light on those projects that attempt to harness nature in a sustainable way. And the in studio discussion turns to the expansion of our native forests and how ready people are for rewilding. All that before a break to prepare the next series.
We’re back in the bustling hub of the BT Young Scientist and Technology Exhibition at the RDS. Join us for a whistletop tour through the exhibits and also an in studio discussion about the internet, AI and how it can be used for both good and bad in communicating the climate crisis. Part 2 next week.

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
