Hosted by comedian Colm O’Regan, The World Etc. is a monthly look at issues affecting people around the world. 
In the fourth episode of our series, Colm chats to Sorcha Hamilton of the Irish Times and environmentalist Paula Butler as they take a novel look at climate change, environmentalism and what small but positive changes people can make in their lives to make a difference. Colm and the panel discuss practical solutions to reducing personal waste, the dilemmas people face in trying to balance ethical consumer choices with convenience & cost and a low-cost consumer culture has had a major environmental impact. 
The World Etc. is brought to you by Trócaire, one of Ireland’s leading charities.
