The Climate Strikers are fighting for a Fossil-Free Future: Let’s Help them!

On Friday 20th September, thousands of people will take to the streets in Galway and in cities and towns around the world to for the Global Climate strike. Companies like Lush, Amazon, WordPress and organisations Amnesty International and Oxfam are all supporting the climate strikers on Friday, and we can too!

How can I help if I can’t join the strike?

Even if you can’t leave your workplace for whatever reason, you can still support the climate strikers. One of the most important things you can do is start decarbonising your home by installing a renewable energy system. This will ensure a lasting legacy of energy infrastructure for future generations. It also saves you money on your heat bills as well as protecting you from any potential hits from future carbon taxes.

Decarbonising heat

The Taoiseach has acknowledged that Ireland is a “laggard” in fulfilling its climate change treaty obligations. A major contributor to Ireland’s shortfall in reaching its renewable energy target is an under-performance on renewable heat. Ireland actually placed 26th out of the 28 EU member states for renewable energy for heat. The International Energy Agency (IEA) recently published a review of the government’s performance on climate adaptation measures and one of its recommendation was for the government to prioritise a time-bound roadmap for decarbonising heat.
