Sustainability journalist Jo Linehan spotlights some Irish businesses that are championing sustainability in new and exciting ways. If you’re looking for something a little different to do this weekend, here’s where to head…

Sometimes, the best way to spark inspiration is to immerse ourselves in a new environment. In fact, in 2020, research from New York University and the University of Miami found that having new experiences is linked to positive and happy emotions.

A new experience doesn’t have to be profound; it can mean changing your daily commute route, visiting a new coffee shop, trying a new gastropub, or booking that weekend away you’ve been promising yourself.

At its core, sustainability is all about innovation and reimagining the things we do every day. In that spirit, here is a curation of three great Irish places worth visiting, all of whom are pioneering new, diverse and inspiring environmental and social initiatives.

No matter what kind of newness, reinvigoration or reimagination you’re after this month, these sustainable spots are ready to satiate.

Inspired? Here’s what to do next

Hopefully, these new experiences have inspired you to make your own small but impactful changes. One of the most effective and easiest steps each of us can take is to switch to 100% renewable energy at home and work. By powering our daily lives with renewable energy, we can support Ireland’s energy transition, reduce our carbon footprint, and help build a brighter, more sustainable future for all.

That’s where the Pinergy team comes in. Pinergy is the go-to energy provider for all of these pioneering Irish businesses because it provides renewable energy and up-to-date data on energy usage via its app. Pinergy is committed to helping Ireland meet its energy targets.
