EcoMomics - The Sustainable Living Podcast EcoMomics

For this episode we spoke with Kate Doyle - an Action Mom who decided while on Maternity Leave to turn her concerns about nappy waste  into a sustainable reusable option. 

As they say - if you want something done ask a busy person - and no one is busier than a Mom, particularly a New Mom.

So, whether you’re knee deep in sticky laundry, pumping a boob or pushing a pram around a park, tune in because this is the episode for you.  

In The episode we chat with fellow Climate Ambassador and presenter of the RTE Jnr Podcast Ecolution Evie Kenny. From beach cleans to participating in the Fridays for Future campaign, Evie is immersed in all thing sustainable. In this episode she talks openly to us about her podcast, the pressures on teenagers today and her hopes for the future.

Our next guest is Suzanne McManus from Cosy'n'Posy Yoga - who also happens to be a close friend of Liza (for full disclosure ) - and she joined us to chat with us about what inspired her to get involved with cleaning up her local environment.

It all started during Covid, when she was spending more time walking around her local area in rural Co. Meath, and she became aware of the amount of litter and dumping in the hedgerows, ditches and roadside margins - her frustration led her to the Meath County Council website where she learned of the Green Kilometre Scheme, which she signed up for and encouraged her neighbours to join in too.

On the eve of the Late Late Toy Show and with just a handful of weeks to go until Christmas Day Irish children are busily writing their letters to Santa and parents are scrambling to get everything ready for the Big Man’s arrival on Christmas Eve.   

So no better time to invite Sharon Keilthy, the visionary woman behind the eco-specialist toy company Jiminy.ie, retailing and distributing the earth-kindest toys across Ireland & the UK.

So before you rush out to your local toy shop to grab the big gifts and the stocking fillers, have a listen to Sharon's advice on how to make more sustainable and planet friendly choices this Christmas.

We had an absolute blast recording this episode and we hope you enjoy listening.
