Dean Eaton, environmental awareness officer at Dun Laoghaire, Rathdown County Council and explained what we can do to help the environment.
"Get out - cycle, exercise, go for walks, have fun, turn the TV off," he said.
"Get an allotment garden. Simple things - take the stairs rather than the escalator. Turn the lights off. Turn appliances off when you're not using them."
