Tara Shines, ‘How To Save Your Planet One Object At A Time’ was highlighted as The Irish Examiner’s Book of The Week.
Dr Tara Shine, the co-founder of Change by Degrees, the social enterprise that inspires people to live and work more sustainably has been named the Network Ireland Cork Businesswoman of the Year.
One year ago my first book, How to Save Your Planet One Object At a Time was published on Earth Day (22 April 2020). As is natural for any first time author, I was excited to share my book with the world and see physical copies of it on shelves in bookshops and in people’s hands. I imagined signing copies and having a book launch. But it wasn’t to be. The Pandemic drove my book launch online and I had to wait months to see my book in the shops. It was not as I imagined, but nevertheless people supported my book and spread the word and found that locked down in their homes the messages in my book were more relevant than ever.
Climate change is affecting us all, but the most severe impacts are being felt by the most vulnerable people, who contribute least to the causes of the problem.

The Royal Institution lecture has been a Christmas tradition in Britain since 1825, when it was initiated by the renowned scientist Michael Faraday at a time when organised education for the young was scarce on the ground.
The lectures continue to this day but have become engaging, mind-expanding BBC Four television programmes for people of all ages.
Irish environmental scientist Tara Shine will be part of a threesome delivering their take on the world during this year’s programmes.

In three lectures Chris, Helen and Tara reveal the hidden wonders of Earth that keep us all alive and explore the impact of human activity on our planet in the 2020 CHRISTMAS LECTURES.
In February 2021 the BBC ran an online campaign on Climate Solutions to highlight big picture solutions and practical tips related to carbon reduction. Four of the practical tips were drawn from Tara’s books. Some of the images created for the BBC Instagram posts are featured here.
