Its 2021 and Eco Eye has returned to Irish television for its 19th series. This long-running Irish, environmental documentary series continues its investigation into the ecological issues of our time. Viewers outside of our tiny green isle and those who missed it the first time round can watch past episodes on our RU-vid channel.
Anywhere with no people and development is filled with horrible Sitka Spruce monoculture plantations and ghastly wind farms for ‘climate change’ which just means a ruse to fill more wealthy financiers accounts even higher and higher.
You really shouldn't spray glyphosate without wearing a moonsuit. And no it doesn't stay where you spray it, that's industry hype. Do you really want to drink it... because I don't
Great video, thank you for making it on a very important subject not only in Ireland but in Britain too. Still see loads of peat compost for sale in garden centres though.
ONE HOAX AFTER ANOTHER NEXT WHEN W,H.O GETS ITS TREATY WITH BINDING AUTHORITY THEN IT WILL BE A PANDEMIC EVERY DAY THE ROCKERFELLERS DECIDE, WAKE UP TO THE TREACHEROUS STOOGES IN TOP OFFIICES IN IRELAND
at 2:57 did he really just say it produces 120,000 Thousand liters of gas per year? Not a chance - Maybe he meant to say ml which is around 32gallons of gas per year - which if so - is still very useful for that size
People with money just want to build one-offs in the countryside. It's ludicrous as it's unsustainable, results in a hollowing out of the towns and destroys the landscape. No other developed country is so laissez faire regarding this hugely unsustainable form of "development".
In the states we have Buckthorn taking over everything. Some areas they are almost half of all plants. I would trade with something that has a beautiful flower.
Moneypoint powerstation was built in the early 80s. It was the future at the time and polish coal imported was the fuel to be used. Now I believe it will switch to oil. As a bord na mona apprentice in Derrygreenagh in the early 80s , Moneypoint was one of my only chances to get a job and stay in ireland....... wasnt to be . Strangely I have worked in the oil and gas for the past 40 years and its now under pressure. I wonder where we will be in 20 years time. Knowing what we know about carbon footprints now , the whole idea of polish coal being imported seems like a daft idea. I wonder how much the goverment held back at the time. I am sure the narrative will change again as we get on the energy "merry go rounds". Looking back , my apprenticeship at Bord Na Mona was the best thing I ever done. All the skills I learned there while becoming a fitter have never let me down. Now a days at the ripe old age of 60 , my job options have never been better as the world is so used to touch screens and no one wants dirty hands it seems!
We could learn a thing or two from you re: illegal dumping on Vancouver Island: although we certainly have a deposit system here. But old furniture and such? And the deposit system helps, hugely with what we call “ pickers”, the homeless who earn their living off empties. Still a huge amount of litter here, though, and in Vancouver. Hard to know what to do. I work at Regional Recycling, for the record.
This documentary is already five years old the producers probably won't read this comment but if you do - and there is still some rhododendron left - leave it alone please. There is no such thing as an "invasive species" (except kudzu maybe). I may sound like a hippie but with plants, theres always a reason why they are there. For example: Some time in the early 90's (i think) Impatiens glandulifera was brought to us, by accident. And at first, people were worried it would smother our native plants. So, people resorted to plucking it out, just like you did with the rhododendron. But, it didn't harm any of our plants here. It's now very popular with beekepers because it provides nectar when most other plants are not blooming anymore. And it looks gorgeous and is edible too! So, even if it's not yet clear why it grows in your beautiful oak forests, there most definetely is a reason for it. Just try to observe it in it's new habitat and see which impact it will have. Just a friendly suggestion from a fellow nature lover who would love to visit Ireland 😉
Hi biomethane enthusiasts! Also have a look at our video on biomethane, where we take a look at it's derivatives and the future outlook as well. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TKGyn0zXmRc.html
This is happening all over the UK as well as Ireland. I've been fly fishing for over 40 years and seen the decline. Little fly life left, loss of natural stocks of fish. Land has been drained and nutrients and chemicals spread and natural areas of landscape that filtered and protected a catchment, turned to so-called "improved grazing". Streams that swarmed with fly life and trout are gone or severely depleted. Its utter greed and arrogance encouraged by Govts.
EWI fitted here (house in the south east of the Netherlands), combined with tripple glazed windows and flat roof insulation, still to do is insulation of the pitched roof and partially the ground floors. Also HRMV and underfloor heating with heat pump still to do, for now I already save 60% on my energy bills, heating is with air to air at the moment which is already proven sufficient to -5°C. The house was rated G, but in practice energy consumption per m² was more like E/F (gas consumption 35000-40000kWh/yr for 210m²) . Energy consumption now akin A and after fitting solar it will rate A++ or even A+++. But I get it certified once everything is done Deep retrofitting is well funded by grants in Ireland, here in the Netherlands it's 30% of the cost at max, a fixed rate per m² of insulation is granted and for heat pumps, solar boilers etc which are listed. But you always have to apply for two measures to get the max of 30%, otherwise they will only grant 15%. And it has to be installed by a certified company, no grants on DIY, this is to guarantee that installation is done correctly, although in practice I would have done a better job in some aspects and often it will also be cheaper even without the grant. EWI and heat pump are/will be done by a contractor however.
Stupid fuckin' environmentalists. How do they even have the guts to call themselves that? I have no sympathy for such people. They are still infected by the "fall of man" myth from Genesis. "Nature was perfect before humans interferred. So any change that happens in the natural ecosystem as a result of our action must necessarily be bad." That's their half-brained reasoning, not understanding that invasive plants have mostly positive attributes. Their reasoning goes completely against any ecological concepts. Nature spreads it has always done that. Nothing about us spreading seeds across biogeographic barriers is anything new. Also here's the death blow to your dumbass reasoning: Rhododendron ponticum did grow in Britain before the last glacial maximum. Get a grip on facts and stop keeping plant-poison salesmen rich.
To the farmers that only get 2 cent per kw hour, hook that power up to bitcoin mining farms. You generate your own electricity and electricity is a huge operation expense to bitcoin mining. You could basically mine bitcoin free of charge (apart from the price of the miners)
Clive from Sligo should Coppice that alder stand and sell the wood, might not be loads but will help pay him back slowly and also provide a benefit to wildlife and do its job at the same time.
Those buildings are the victim of successive F.G and F.F governments which have badly overlooked the domestic housing market and many issues regarding their people for that matter. Won’t effect the likes of Varadkar and co with the brilliant wages their on each week, it’s not as if they’ll be visiting badly let down local communities anytime soon.
