“We are delighted to have someone of the calibre of Duncan Stewart present, and he will speak briefly and be very happy to answer any questions from members of the public,” said Pat.

Duncan is an award-winning architect and television producer/presenter of the ‘Eco Eye’ environmental documentary TV series, through his company, Earth Horizon Productions Ltd.

He has been a leading Irish advocate for environmental, health and conservation issues for over 40 years.

Duncan is a pioneer in Ireland and across the EU in areas such as sustainable ecological architecture, the greening of urban spaces and cities, and passive solar design and innovation.

Over the past twenty-five years he has championed solutions to mitigate climate change and has also been a popular television personality in Ireland.

His early shows Our House and About the House leaned on his architectural background, as he promoted the values of quality Irish craftsmanship, along with energy efficiency, sustainable design, ecological building materials and ‘zero carbon’ buildings.

Duncan’s current television series ‘Eco Eye’, now in its nineteenth year, is driven by his keen interests in the protection of our environment, Ireland’s biodiversity, supporting local communities and the communication of climate change issues.

The Ballina Credit Union Green Energy and Home Improvement Exhibition on the second Sunday of October will run in the Great National Hotel, Foxford Road, Ballina from 2p.m. to 6p.m. and admission is free.
