Active travel is often talked about as a transport issue. New research suggests shows investing in walking and cycling delivers benefits in health, tourism, jobs, congestion and the environment. When we make it easier to move around without a car, all of us benefit. www.rte.ie/news/ireland...

Water reminds us that change is possible. A dry garden comes back to life after rain. A seed grows. A stream can be restored. We don't need to do everything at once. We can start where we are, with the people and places around us, and take the next step together. #WorldWaterWeek

In a healthy landscape, #rain soaks into soil, feeds plants, replenishes groundwater and creates habitats for wildlife. Our gardens, parks and communities can all play a part in helping water stay in the landscape for longer. #WorldWaterWeek #CommunityGardens #Biodiversity #NatureConnection

You turn on a tap, and #water appears. But where does it come from? Where does it go? And what natural systems make it possible? This #WorldWaterWeek, why not pay a little more attention to the water flowing through your day?
