Have you thought about the journey of the clothes that you wear? Who made them, where were they made, and was the process kind to the environment? In the era of fast fashion, designer Pyone Thet Thet Kyaw, asks us to pause and think about ethical fashion. Pyone is the founder of Virya Myanmar, an ethical clothing brand based in Yangon. Her passion for ethical fashion originated from her personal experience at very young age when she witnessed exploitation in the industry. Since then she has been determined that she would one day establish a socially minded clothing brand, which is now called Virya , a social business committed to empowering young women from underprivileged backgrounds. Prior to being an entrepreneur, Pyone spent more than 10 years in development field as a Governance Adviser at UKAid in Yangon and a number of other professional positions in the development field. She studied in Canada as a Jeanne Sauve Scholar and in the United Kingdom as a Chevening Scholar.

"The Green Fireman" with Neil McCabe

Using public monies to reduce carbon footprint, practice energy conservation, and raise the environmental awareness among

Using public monies to reduce carbon footprint, practice energy conservation, and raise the environmental awareness among citizens in Ireland. €9 billion is spent by the public sector on goods and services annually in Ireland! Dublin fireman Neil McCabe showed how with a little ingenuity, this money could result in environmentally friendly buildings and huge cost savings to the public sector but will local authorities and the government take notice.

Thats €100bn in spending in the next 10 years, shouldnt that money be spend on local, environmentally sound, clean products and services?   Moving to a green economy is a low carbon economy.

It would save money and create jobs, so whats stopping us.

"Circular Economy" by Eco-Eye in Ireland

Hosted by Duncan

Hosted by Duncan Stewart, 'Take, make, Dispose' is how our current linear economic model is described. Take raw materials from the ground, make a product then dispose of it back into the ground. However, with the rapid rise of consumerism in the 20th century, we are now running out of raw materials and places to dispose of waste and thats not even mentioning the environmental damage caused in between.

The Circular Economy is more progressive, environmentally friendly and efficient economic model, one that mimics nature and where there is no such thing as waste.
The final programme of Eco Eye series 12 looks at the Circular Economy and meets Irish companies that are already preparing for this new economic model and we also speak to experts on the challenges and opportunities this new reality presents.
