Sports Clubs

What happens when clubs ask a different question, not "what do we have to give up," but "how can we do this better?" In this episode, host Alan Swan speaks with Cliona Connolly and Pamela Deegan from Carlow Lawn Tennis Club, and Keith Moran from Carlow Town Hurling and Camogie Club to hear how volunteers tackled rising energy bills and waste with practical fixes that made facilities better, not worse. From insulation, LEDs, and smarter heating to a boot-swap, reusable cups, and bee-friendly planting, the clubs show how climate action can save money, build pride, and strengthen community.About Carlow's Eco Journey:Carlow's Eco Journey shines a spotlight on the county's vibrant environmental actions quietly taking place, and the inspiring individuals and groups behind them.
