If you want to reach people outside the sustainability bubble, then this episode of Green Sense is for you! We talk to Aisling O’Rourke of The Communications Coach about your sustainability messaging, especially if you’re a Green Team trying to land your message with the rest of the workforce.

Aisling’s top 3 tips for climate communicating are:

1. Simplify the message. Often sustainability jargon can put people off.

2. Lead by example. If you want more people to cycle to work, then show them how.

3. The Attention Economy. Make your message short and sharp to attract attention.

As Aisling says, ‘We live on a beautiful island and I’d like to keep it that way’.

Listen to the whole episode for more advice on bringing people with you on the journey.

After all, we don't need 8 billion people doing sustainability perfectly, as that doesn’t exist! We need 8 billion people taking action, imperfectly.

Do you know here your food waste goes in a restaurant or canteen? Does it get composted or incinerated? In this episode we talk to Shane about biodigesters! These magic machines turn food waste into a nutrient rich compost overnight.

Using a combination of heat and digestive enzymes, the food is broken down into a dry powdery compost that can be used in gardens and crop growing.

Shane's top 3 tips for climate action:

1- Vote! The government needs to fund more innovative technologies that will support our transition to a clean tech economy.

2- Move to renewable energy where at all possible.

3- Reduce your waste both in a commercial environment and on a personal front. There is no 'away' and increasing the volume of your recycling isn't the answer. Less is more!

This episode is all about leading from the front with sustainability. How leaders can really shape the future of the companies they work for. We talk to Sile Walsh who works with Senior Leaders to help them develop the skills they need to succeed.

We discuss diversity, equity and inclusion and what skill set leaders will need to face climate adversity.

Sile's top 3 tips for Climate Action are:

1- More guerilla gardening! Plant pollinator friendly native seeds on unused patches of land. Or protect them from being mowed!

2 - Upcycle what you have rather than throwing away and buying new.

3 - Check your suppliers sustainability credentials. Do they know what their Carbon Footprint is and what are they doing to reduce it?
