Just the 2 of us ... 33 kilos of nearly sea pollution! Weirdest things: raw burgers, rosary beads and a hurley stick! Way too much plastic, cans and toys tonight! All bins full so not possible to do recycling. The clothes and toys are in the shower hut...claim them quickly 💚🌊🐳 – at Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown, Ireland
Heartbreaking hearing that since the pandemic,illegal gold miners & loggers are using #COVID19 to increase illegal activity in the #Amazon. Official figures showed deforestation has increased by more than 60% compared to April last year @FFFireland @Fridays4future @GretaThunberg

Incredibly disappointed with the decision that’s come from today. No one listened to what the students wanted.Thanks to @ciarakellydoc for giving me, along with other #LeavingCert students a voice. We wanted predicted grades. This is the worst outcome @SimonHarrisTD @McHughJoeTD
#Podcast A huge issuing facing many of our younger listeners is the uncertainty around the State Exams – in particular the Leaving Certificate. Are you a leaving cert student? What would you like to see happen? @ciarakellydoc chats to listeners newstalk.com/podcasts/highli…
This just shows how #COVID19 impacts all aspects of our lives-even things we may not realise. We need to look out for those most vulnerable in the world. We may be finding times hard but there is always someone struggling more. Be greatful for what you have #BeKind #StayHome
The impact of #Covid19 on the #SDGs. We must prepare & stay focused on building inclusive and sustainable economies that are more resilient in facing pandemics, climate change, & the many other global challenges. #GlobalGoals #ProjectUs
Thanks for having me on & giving a voice to the 6th years sitting the exams. It feels like our health & opinions are being disregarded. The situation is so unjust & unfortunately cancelling them is the only suitable option. #LeavingCert #Covid_19 @templecarrigGS @issu4u @SpunOut
Should the state exams go ahead this year? @radiodeclan spoke to Student Molly Gordan from Greystones and @AliceODonnell10 to get their views.

The A levels, International Baccalaureate, Swedish Exams and how the French Bac have all been cancelled due to #COVID2019 Why are leaving cert students faced with such uncertainty in times like this. It is not fair to us and our mental health @McHughJoeTD @issu4u #cancelthelc

As the #Covid_19 outbreak brings more and more countries to a standstill, there is mounting concern about the impact that the virus could have on vulnerable communities in Africa and Asia.
We're putting plans in place to respond.

Crazy to think it’s been a year since we started our climate journey! In the space of a year the movement has come so far, we’ve had the most amazing opportunities and been involved in incredible projects. Thank you :) Our work is not over, we’ll keep fighting! #ClimateChange

Banning single use plastic does not go far enough. It is used to give a persona that action is taking place. We need to move past plastic and tackle our meat consumption, driving and flying habits. Banning single use plastic is where it starts, but not where the action ends.

To those who say it's not possible...
“In the 1960s and 70s, Costa Rica had the highest per capita deforestation rate in the world. We have managed not only to stop deforestation but to double forest coverage”

Felling v privileged to be 1st time voter! Don’t let #StormCiara put you off or think ur vote won’t make a difference, go down to your station, it’s only 5 mins of your time. Every #vote counts & give a voice to those who don’t. “Pick the most vulnerable person and vote for them”
Was such an honour to get to speak to the candidates running and interesting to hear what they had to say. Climate must be at the forefront of all decisions💪 @DonnellyStephen @SimonHarrisTD @stevensgreen1 @WhitmoreJen @ADoyleTD @Valacox @johnbradysf #ClimateEmergency

Canvassers called to my house in Tipp today. My sister, who granted does look young, was the only one home. Canvassers handed her a leaflet and asked her to give it to her parents. She's 24. Candidates need to make sure canvassers aren't excluding young people. #GE2020
