We are all too aware that home energy bills as wel We are all too aware that home energy bills as well as fuel costs are rising and that we need to increase our actions to halt global #biodiversity loss. What can we do?⬇️ Just under 40 change makers from all over Donegal gathered last Thursday to discuss these matters with Aengus Kennedy of #naturenorthwest.ie and Duncan Stewart, Environmental Activist, Architect and presenter of Eco Eye for our Biodiversity and Green Energy Solutions Walk and Talk event in partnership with #glenveaghnationalpark. Having walked some of the beautiful Derrylahane Trail, the change makers sat indoors and outdoors and captured #actions we can all take to protect biodiversity and reduce home energy costs. Ideas for actions ranged from: πŸ›πŸ¦‹Protect #biodiversity by: - Prohibit use of toxic chemicals - Embrace regenerative farming practices Develop a #wild garden (or even let part of your garden go wild) πŸ”₯🏘Reduce home energy costs by: - Install a stove into open fireplace - Invest in double or triple glazing Put on layers of clothing in the winter and that bedrooms should be cool for your health A list of actions and ideas from the workshops will follow soon, join the movement for change and sign up to our newsletter at changemakers@inishowen.ie to hear more.
