Climate change has undoubtedly been one of the most pressing matters in recent years. And whether you’re an ordinary citizen or a top conglomerate, every single positive action matters. In this episode of Constructive Voices, Pete the Builder talks to Steve Randall and talks about Ireland’s Green Scene- specifically, the green revolution that has taken over the construction industry.
These days, most millennials and Gen Zers lead an eco-conscious lifestyle. From participating in the zero-waste movement to using sustainable technology, the current generation is trying its hardest to slow down the rate of global warming.

Refusing to be left behind in the dust, the construction industry in Ireland has initiated significant changes in order to be more environmentally-friendly. To start, older houses are improved upon, making sure that they are on-par with new builds that comply with current energy-efficient standards. And when it comes to the building process itself, there are ways to make a difference.
These are all smart options the construction industry is adopting. And with the government’s help in the form of tax incentives and grants, the push for an industry that is reliant on green energy is even stronger.
