The Irish government has faced criticism for its lack of action on climate policy in recent years. Despite being one of the countries most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, Ireland has been slow to implement policies to address the issue and reduce its carbon footprint. This blog explores the gap between climate promises and real progress — examining agriculture, energy, floods, and the rising cost of doing nothing.

There is an old wisdom rooted in bark and branch, a green lexicon whispered through leaves: that who you are may not be written in stars, but in trees. Celtic tree astrology, born from the deep-listening Druids, tells of a time when the forest itself was map and mirror—each tree a keeper of personality, a shaper of fate. To walk beneath your birth-tree is to step closer to the self you were always meant to become. This blog is a journey into that ancient woodland of meaning—where oak speaks of strength, willow of intuition, and every tree tells a story of you.

Greenwashing has become a widespread practice in many industries, from cosmetics to fashion to food. It can be difficult to distinguish between truly eco-friendly products and those that are simply using green marketing to make a profit. In this blog, we will explore some of the most common types of greenwashing and offer tips on how to avoid falling for it.

Carbon credits have become a popular tool in the fight against climate change. They are essentially permits that allow companies or individuals to emit a certain amount of greenhouse gases, with the aim of reducing overall emissions. But are carbon credits effective in reducing emissions? The answer is not a simple yes or no, but rather a nuanced explanation of how they work and their limitations. This blog reflects on the uneasy promise of carbon credits—permits to pollute wrapped in green intent. It explores how they work, where they fall short, and whether they truly serve the climate or simply soothe our conscience.

Hey there eco-warrior! Are you ready to save the planet, one step at a time? Great, because reducing your carbon footprint is a super fun and easy way to make a big impact on the environment.

Irish folklore and nature have a deep and intertwined relationship that has been passed down through generations. From ancient tales of faeries, banshees, and leprechauns to modern legends of haunted forests and mysterious lakes, Irish folklore has always been steeped in the natural world. This blog follows that entanglement — tracing how place and story have grown together, and how the land still speaks, if we know how to listen.

Ivy has a reputation for being a ruthless "killer" of trees, strangling them and taking away their life force. This perception of ivy has been ingrained in many people's minds for years, and as a result, ivy is often seen as a nuisance plant that should be removed. However, this view is not entirely accurate, and it is important to understand why ivy has such a bad reputation and why it is so beneficial for wildlife.

Trees have been a source of inspiration and wonder for humans for thousands of years. From the ancient mythologies that depict trees as guardians and protectors of the earth to the more recent scientific discoveries about their complex systems and processes, trees have captured our imagination and left us in awe. But what about their intelligence? Can trees be considered intelligent beings?

Conifer plantations are large monocultures of non-native conifer trees, such as Sitka spruce, pine, and larch. These plantations were introduced to Ireland in the late 19th and early 20th centuries to meet the increasing demand for timber. However, the introduction of conifer plantations has had a profound and lasting impact on Ireland's biodiversity, and has led to significant harm to the country's ecosystems. In this blog, we will examine what conifer plantations are, why they were introduced to Ireland, and why they are bad for Ireland's biodiversity.

Ireland has a long and complex history of deforestation that dates back thousands of years. The country was once covered in dense forests, but over time, the forests were gradually cleared for agriculture, fuel, and construction. Today, less than 10% of Ireland’s original forests remain, and the impact of this deforestation has been felt by the country’s environment, wildlife, and people. In this blog, we’ll take a closer look at the timeline and causes of Ireland’s historic deforestation.
