Hi @EamonRyan @MichealMartinTD @LeoVaradkar
It's time to address the elephant in the room at #COP28  - i.e. fossil fuels and the corrupt influence of fossil fuel companies
Please work for a fast & fair phase out of fossil fuels at #COP28 and back home

I’ve just emailed my MEPs asking them to support an EU law to #RestoreNature. Will you do the same? Polling shows that 71% of Irish people want their MEPs to vote in favour of this law! @MariaWalshEU @ColmMarkey @SeanKellyMEP https://t.co/zJIzbpZ8Mc

Japan, abolish fossil fuels now! Our demands are simple: clean air, safety, and protection from eviction. Achieving these requires Japan to stop funding all fossil fuels, everywhere. https://t.co/MipL9PEvn2

One of our volunteers is from Ireland, and at today's #StPatricksDay2023, we wanted to make her feel at home.
At our end-of-the-week coffee break, we ate #green, #white, and #orange snacks!

The EU will systematically promote and call for a global move towards energy systems free of unabated fossil fuels well ahead of 2050!

🥦Today is National Stop Food Waste Day!

🚮In Ireland, every year, on average a household produces about 130 kg of food waste or 48 kg per person (that’s nearly half the weight of a full brown bin).

[EPA Ireland @EPAIreland]

Save money on #StopFoodWasteDay

The average Irish household loses €700 a year from throwing out food like bread, fruit & veg. ​

​Starting today, write down all the food you throw out for the next 7 days. Take note of what goes out & then use that to review your shopping list!

🏭Air pollution linked to depression, study suggests

“This adds to a growing picture that we should be concerned about the effects of pollution on mental health on top of the more obvious links to respiratory health", Oliver Robinson (UCL).
