Woop! It's that time of the month again, and we've got a new schedule for September which you can read about below. We've got some treats in store this month, our Independent Media block has been given over to the work of Joanne Richardson and we've a new mould breaking drama called The House. Richardson films look at the lives of Romanian women, globalisation and the difficulties facing political activists in a post-communist Eastern Europe. We've also significantly revised the content in our Gimme the Camera block, packing it with the work of more up and coming film makers. If there's anything we're most proud of this month, it's bringing the drama series The House to the air. There's a download of the schedule and an online version available.

Ireland has some of the world’s most important bogs. Peatlands comprise almost a fifth of Ireland’s land cover, and lock away a massive 1.2 billion tonnes of carbon. They are also home to around half our endangered bird species and around a quarter of endangered plant species. Peat bogs are amazingly efficient carbon sponges. A healthy bog typically stores 10 times more carbon per hectare than any other system, including forests. Peatland protection, according to the UN Environment Programme is “among the most cost-effective options for mitigating climate change”. Damage to peat bogs is now producing the equivalent of over a tenth of total global fossil-fuel emissions. ... read full story / add a comment
