More power to you

This week, we launch the first instalment of our three-part series with Dr Tara Shine. An environmental activist and international policy advisor, the Kinsale-based Shine’s stellar career has seen her promote powerful climate change action across the planet. Today, she is also the author of a superb new book, How to Save Your Planet: One Object at a Time, which serves as a practical, accessible guidebook to sustainable living. She tells Elaine Prendeville what she hopes the book will achieve, discusses the power of individual action, and explains how you can get involved in a mini movement over the next three weeks
