Interview 9: Climate Crisis with the Irish Schools Sustainability Network

One thing that binds us all together is our planet, and it would seem surprising if teachers around the country wouldn't be worried about the impending climate crisis. I was thrilled to be joined by Mary Moore and Laura Ní Mhaille from the Irish Schools Sustainability Network to discuss how teachers can help.

We got through a huge amount from Green Flags to whether Climate Action should be a curriculum subject and everything in between. It was a great chat and I learned loads!
