The last ReViewing Ireland trip was to @DunsanyNature in County Meath. Travel: 109B bus from Busaras, 1 hour Weather: 1/15 degrees celsius / Sunny Airquality: 2 Good (Station 68, Navan, Co. Meath) I want to thank the @NLIreland and the @EPAIreland Ireland for the opportunity to spend this year travelling the RoI with my cameras recording environmental issues, stories, observations and meeting hundreds of great people. Photos taken: 17,998 (I really should take two more!) Now to write captions for the second half of the year-long oproject, a task I expect to complete by the end of June. I'll continue to post as I pore over the last six months, and at the end say more about the wonderfully supportive instigators of this Photographer-in-Residence initiative, the NLI and EPA. This is the first collection in the National Library of Ireland's Photographic Archives to be what is called a 'LIVING COLLECTION', meaning photographs are being archived while photographs are still being taken. This photo is of a buzzard at Dunsany.

Did you know, recycling goes far beyond the plastics, paper and cans that we recycle weekly? With 84% of Irish households containing an average of 15 to 20 broken or unused electrical items, there's never been a better time to make e-waste recycling part of your new years resolutions! As part of The National Awareness Campaign - Recycle Your Electrical Waste for Free! we're calling on householders to recycle anything with a plug, cable, or battery, and to find your nearest free electrical recycling drop-off point with @MyWasteIreland Learn more - mywaste.ie/dispose-waste/at-… @Dept_ECC

"An ever-present lurker in estuarine creeks, harbours and mudflats, the redshank has a fluting call that is the soundtrack to winter on the wild coast." The 'wild coast' here is the Bull Wall, 6km from Dublin centre city. @NLIreland @EPAIreland #ReViewingIreland #EPA_NLI_PiR

A new EPA report shows that while acceptance of climate change is high in Europe, more needs to be done to communicate the human driven nature of the growing crisis. This project, led by Dr Ashling Bourke, contains findings on attitudes to climate change. launch.dcu.ie/49hatQ0
