Coughlan: Important We Change Old Ways And Find New Transport And Ways Of Generating Energy
That's according to the newly elected mayor of Cork County, Bandon/Kinsale councillor Gillian Coughlan
She says that Cork County Council's Climate Adaptation Strategy sets out how Cork can mitigate harmful emissions and enhance biodiversity.
Speaking to RedFM News, Mayor Coughlan says that the old ways were too harmful:
"Cork County Council's Climate Adaptation Strategy sets out how our policies would mitigate our harmful emissions, enhance our biodiversity. And I'm 100% in support of that. It is important that we begin to change our old ways, and find new ways of generating energy, of transporting people, because the old ways, simply, were too harmful."
