JLL, a leading real estate company, has recently signed a corporate power purchase agreement (CPPA) with Pinergy. This agreement will enable JLL to provide renewable energy to its extensive real estate portfolio, as part of Pinergy's Guarantee of Origin offering. This announcement comes following the long-standing corporate relationship between JLL's Property Management Department and Pinergy. Pinergy's new Guarantee of Origin offering, also referred to as a Corporate Power Purchase Agreement (CPPA), is an agreement whereby a company can purchase electricity generated from a wind farm or solar farm based in Ireland that is feeding power into the national grid. 100% of JLL's energy demand in Ireland that is sourced from Pinergy will be met by renewable electricity from wind farms across the country. These wind farms include Lahanaght Wind Farm in Co. Cork, and Beallough Wind Farm, Co Waterford. By availing of Pinergy's Guarantee of Origin offering over 285 commercial supply points within JLL's managed property portfolio are now powered entirely by guaranteed renewable green energy. This deal represents Pinergy's largest corporate power purchase agreement to date providing 22gWh sourced from the two Irish wind farms. This transition to green, renewable energy usage is projected to result in carbon emission reductions equivalent to offsetting the emissions from approximately 4,400 round-trip flights between Dublin and New York. Eric Williams, Sustainability Manager of Property Management at JLL, commented on the CPPA deal, stating, "Pinergy's 'Guarantee of Origin' offering perfectly aligns with JLL's Global ESG and Sustainability mandate, as well as the requirements of our clients and occupiers who seek green, renewable energy solutions. We were initially introduced to Pinergy through our partnership with our preferred energy broker, Wecansaveyoumoney.ie, and I would like to extend a special mention to Ronan Leenane and his team. We eagerly anticipate continuing this partnership and expanding our offerings as our department grows." Enda Gunnell, Chief Executive Officer at Pinergy said; "We are pleased to announce this new CPPA with JLL, building on our long-standing relationship, this CPPA is testament to JLL's commitment to leadership and innovation in the property sector. We look forward to continuing our partnership with JLL to support them on their energy transition journey." Gunnell continued, "To date we have secured corporate power purchase agreements for more than 150gWh of annual Irish wind generation under our Guarantee of Origin offering and we expect to see demand for this offering grow substantially in the coming years." Pinergy's Guarantee of Origin offering supports companies as they look to reduce their carbon footprint ensuring they now have a traceable energy system in place for their portfolio from a chosen renewable facility in Ireland.

In this Best Possible Taste interview, Sharon Noonan is joined by Dvir Nusery and Nicola Crowley from Mezze in Tramore, Co Waterford who are celebrating 5 years in business. Mezze has become a firm favourite with foodies from all over travelling to sample their Middle Eastern delights. The dynamic husband and wife duo, Chef Dvir Nusery and Food Entrepreneur Nicola Crowley have worked tirelessly over these last five years, to combine simple locally produced food with Middle Eastern flavours to create innovative and mouth-watering deli style offerings. Believe it or not, it all started on a glacier in New Zealand! Nicola, from Ireland, met Dvir, from Israel and their love, life and culinary adventure started from there. Fast forward a few years, marriage and two kids later, Dvir and Nicola began working on their dream Mezze. From humble beginnings working in Nicola's mother's kitchen with Dvir cooking up a selection of his favourite dips, salads and breads usually served at the start of the meal in the Middle East they started to turn their dream into reality. With a small pop-up tent at the Harvest Festival in Waterford city in 2015 Mezze was born and the business grew from there. In 2019, the couple made the leap of opening a bricks and mortar place in their hometown of Tramore. They'd been working at festivals, farmers markets, doing pop up dinners and cooking classes and wanted a place of their own to do all of that and more. Mezze HQ is a dynamic space for foodies with plenty of personality and great food. It runs as a deli, café and shop by day with cooking classes and events by night. Speaking on the milestone Dvir said “As we celebrate 5 years in business we are filled with immense pride and gratitude for the incredible journey we've been on. Mezze has featured on TV, radio, print and digital, we've published a cookbook, opened an online store, journalists, celebrities and influencers come visit and so much more, it's been truly amazing! None of this would have been possible without the support of our customers, the hard work of our team, and the partnerships we've forged along the way. We look forward to continuing to serve our community and delivering exceptional Middle Eastern food for years to come!” Nicola commented “In honour of our 5th anniversary, Mezze will be hosting special events, promotions, and giveaways throughout the month of May. These celebrations serve as a token of appreciation for the continued support and patronage of its customers and the entire Mezze community so keep a close eye in-store, on our website and across our social media channels.” Mezze is open Tuesday to Saturday from 9.30am till 3pm.

In this Best Possible Taste, we meet to Jenny Flynn, Executive Chef at Faithlegg, Co Waterford. Jenny has built long-lasting relationships with local producers and artisan suppliers in Ireland creating bespoke seasonal menus that capture a taste of Waterford across Faithlegg's restaurant and bars – the 2AA Rosette Roseville Rooms restaurant, the Alyward Lounge, Bar 1783 and the Red Cedar Lounge.   Since joining Faithlegg over fifteen years ago, Jenny has introduced her range of products including dressings, oils and jams with her Seville Orange & Muldoon Whisky Marmalade awarded bronze at the 2021 Blas na hÉireann awards.    A Wexford native, Jenny grew up in the countryside surrounded by an abundance of fresh fruit and vegetables, spending hours working alongside her grandmother in the kitchen preparing homemade jams and breads. From a very early age, Jenny developed an innate appreciation for eating good food which has played a central role to her approach to cooking throughout her career to date.     The food ethos at Faithlegg is very simple — it's all about respect. Faithlegg has a unique collection of restaurants, each one with a different food offering but all with a sense of old world charm that is fresh and polished. By respecting the heritage of the building and its story and setting, Faithlegg stays contemporary with a timeless quality. Executive Chef Jenny Flynn glows when she speaks about her suppliers — the farmers, growers, fishermen and bakers who she respects so much, and who take such time and care in doing what they do so well. It is her mission to share that passion with her teams and the guests at Faithlegg, so the cycle of respect continues. Her delicious menus showcase all that is best and finest from many named local and artisan producers from Waterford, from her home county of Wexford, the whole of the South East and the island of Ireland.   “I'm all about supporting local food,” says Jenny Flynn, “not just because it's local, but because it's excellent. We source and buy our seasonal ingredients and look to maximise their potential, treating them with the respect, attention and care they deserve, developing the dishes served daily to our guests inspired me to expand our produce into retail, so our guests can now bring a taste of Faithlegg home to their table. I believe in food and the joy it brings to everyone, in good times and in bad, it helps us celebrate and binds us together, and at Faithlegg we love what we do. We hope our guests think that love shows”.

Ireland has literally thousands of amazing historic and archaeological sites that stretch back thousands of years. Many of the best of these are off the beaten track and do not feature on tourist trails.A few weeks ago archaeologist Neil Jackman took me to one of these - the vast sprawling ruins of Athassel priory in South Tipperary. In a wide ranging interview, Neil explained the history of this 800 year old building. We also meandered through fascinating chapters in Irish history and discussed other great sites to visit and how to find them!It was a really fun episode to record - I hope you enjoy it. The War of Independence Series will return in mid September - I have episode 16 and 17 finished and I am currently writing episode18.You can find Tuatha, the membership service Neil mentioned here abartaheritage.ie/tuatha.List of Sites mentioned in the show. Athassel Priory, Co Tipperary- The best way to find the abbey is by entering these co-ordinates on googlemaps 52.479973, -7.986425 https://www.discoverireland.ie/tipperary/athassel-abbeyKells Priory, Co Kilkenny https://www.discoverireland.ie/kilkenny/kells-priorySt Mogues Island, Co Cavan https://www.discoveringireland.com/st-mogues-island/Rock of Cashel, CoTipperary https://heritageireland.ie/places-to-visit/rock-of-cashel/Sceilig Micheal, Co Kerry https://www.abartaheritage.ie/skellig-michael/Kylemore Connemara, Co Galway https://www.kylemoreabbey.com/Omey Island, Co Galway https://www.connemara.net/omey-tidal-island/Derrigimlagh Bog, Co Galway https://www.discoverireland.ie/galway/derrigimlaghNewgrange, Co Meath https://heritageireland.ie/places-to-visit/bru-na-boinne-visitor-centre-newgrange-and-knowth/Kilmogue, Co Kilkenny https://www.discoverireland.ie/kilkenny/leac-an-scail-kilmogue-dolmen-harristown-dolmenGaulstown Dolmen, Co Waterford https://www.discoverireland.ie/waterford/gaulstown-dolmenFourKnocks, Co Dublin https://www.discoverboynevalley.ie/boyne-valley-drive/heritage-sites/four-knocksLoughcrew, Co Westmeath https://heritageireland.ie/places-to-visit/loughcrew-cairns/Clonmacnoise, Co Offaly https://heritageireland.ie/places-to-visit/clonmacnoise/Rahan, Co Offaly

Every street corner, every meandering alleyway, every old shop façade tells its own story.   Our streetscapes are woven into the heart of Irish life and are a crucial part of our heritage.   The Historic Towns Initiative – run by The Heritage Council in partnership with the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage – aims to protect and preserve a vital thread in Ireland's past.   This year, a €1.5m fund had been made available for the heritage-led regeneration of 10 towns after a competitive process.   These include Tralee, Co Kerry; Ballyshannon, Co Donegal; Ballina, Co Mayo; Roscommon, Co Roscommon; Sligo, Co Sligo; Tramore, Co Waterford; Birr, Co Offaly; Enniscorthy, Co Wexford; Navan, Co Meath and Callan, Co Kilkenny.   The money will provide a vital jobs boost and act as an economic stimulus, helping to rebuild local economies with heritage as a focal point.   The Initiative follows on from similar highly successful programmes in 2018, 2019 and 2020.    Last year, €1m in funding was available under this scheme.   In today's podcast, Ian Doyle, Head of Conservation with The Heritage Council, explains the key components of the scheme, and how it plays into an overall heritage strategy.   The programme is a joint initiative between the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Heritage Council.

The two went to trial, but the affair would later be declared a miscarriage of justice.  Find us on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/mensreapod/) or Twitter (https://twitter.com/MensReaPod) !

This week is a recording of my rambling thoughs and self-chats as I made my way to Coumshingaun Lake in the Comeragh Mountains, Co Waterford. 

Vince Power is a man who had it all, lost it all & is on his way to reclaiming it all back. The Co Waterford-born, London-based self-made mogul started his Mean Fiddler empire in 1982 with one humble yet revolutionary venue: innovations at The Mean Fiddler in Harlesden included cold Budweiser beer, a proper PA system and decent showers for the bands. The Fleadh, Benicassim, and the Reading & Leeds festivals all soon followed as part of an illustrious career in the live music industry. Having also run the likes of Madstock, The Phoenix Festival, Tribal Gathering and Homelands, in 2001 Mean Fiddler overhauled Glastonbury, revitalising it for the 21st century. Power never forgot his Irish roots whilst building Mean Fiddler into a global promotional enterprise, which he finally sold to rivals Clear Channel in 2005 for £38 million.

Links CONTACT:  podcast@worldorganicnews.com Could Ireland Use Hemp As Biomass? – Dublin Hemp Museum – Medium — Cannabis News World http://wp.me/p5Cqpo-fBi California to list herbicide as cancer-causing; Monsanto vows fight | Reuters — GLOBAL MEDIA  SENTRY http://wp.me/p5Cqpo-fCw **** This is the World Organic News for the week ending 3rd of July 2017. Jon Moore reporting! We begin this week with piece on the revival of an old plant: Hemp. Not the wacky tobaccy type but the “Grow Hemp for Victory” type from World War Two. A little background. Hemp has been grown for millennia as a fibre. It makes good, hard wearing cloth, Henry Ford used it to build a prototype vehicle, that is as the panels for said prototype vehicle and the navies of the world used it to create lines and ropes. A further aside, any rope under one inch in diameter is called a line or sheet and any line or sheet greater than one inch in diameter is called a rope. Hence the “Grow Hemp for Victory” push by the US government as they built huge numbers of naval vessels needing said, lines, sheets and ropes, the same government which napalmed the more mind altering cultivars of hemp in the second half of the twentieth century. Anyway, DuPont invented nylon, nylon could replace hemp ropes on battleships and by coincidence all varieties and cultivars of hemp were banned not that long afterwards. Purely coincidental, nothing to see here. Hemp has really deep root, is great for stabilising loose soils, produces much more that timber per acre and can be used as part of a crop rotation to clean soils and stabilise them. Now to the post entitled: Could Ireland Use Hemp As Biomass? From the blog Cannabis News World. GlaxoSmithKline, the well known pharmaceutical company is commissioning a biomass generator in Co Waterford. It plans to use pelletised wood chips to fire the plant. Idea being these wood chips are carbon neutral as the trees are regrowing as the wood is being combusted and the CO2 is recycled back into timber. The blog article asks: Quote: So could hemp be used instead of, or in tandem with, other fuels? Hemp is much quicker to grow than trees and other crops used in biomass. Farmers also might be more inclined to partake in such projects due to the shorter term commitments as opposed to growing trees. Growing hemp is better for the land that the use of forests. Hemp has multiple uses and any material not used for biomass can be used for other practical purposes. End Quote. Given the collapse of the US mandated war on hemp if not on all drugs, does this not make sense? I would suggest it does. Not all the hemp need be combusted, much of it would make useful other products as does the timber not used to create pellets. The problem with using wood is the demand for the pellets. In much the same way good, useable timber here in Australia has been chipped to supply the Japanese woodchip market, it seems not unreasonable to expect similar behaviours to meet contractual obligations for wood pellets to feed the biomass plant. Hemp usage would allow these trees to stay in the environment where they do much good while substituting the hemp would bring economic return to farmers on an annual basis rather than say a 15 year cycle of tree growth. The irish agriculture and food development authority even conducted trials between 2008 and 2012 to assess the potential of hemp as a fuel. It appears to not only out produce wood but also benefit cereal crops grown on the same land after the hemp is harvested. This is the sort of stop gap measure needed to move from fossil fuel to renewable energies. Burning anything will have unintended effects. The smoke, the air pollution etc. We have, though, developed technologies to mitigate these and this form of energy production is of a more renewable essence than burning coal or natural gas. When we consider organic hemp, the benefits become even greater. The massive root systems of hemp would, with each harvest be adding carbon to the soil, feeding my much beloved soil biota and allow forestry to be more nuanced, mixed and permanent. Hemp is also so old an agricultural product that cultivars for different climatic zones already exist even allowing for the lack of selection and plant breeding as a result of the war on drugs/non tariff support for DuPont and other plastics manufacturers. Hemp is, naturally, biodegradable, pun intended and so would not contribute the growing piles of plastic waste on both land and sea. All in all, I see the use of hemp as a win/win for farmers, energy producers and the environment. A second post this week also points to a win for the environment and its health. The blog GLOBAL MEDIA  SENTRY reports: California to list herbicide as cancer-causing; Monsanto vows fight. That herbicide is, of course, the ubiquitous glyphosate, better known to many as Roundup. Quote: Glyphosate, an herbicide and the active ingredient in Monsanto Co's popular Roundup weed killer, will be added to California's list of chemicals known to cause cancer effective July 7, the state's Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) said on Monday. Monsanto vowed to continue its legal fight against the designation, required under a state law known as Proposition 65, and called the decision "unwarranted on the basis of science and the law." The listing is the latest legal setback for the seeds and chemicals company, which has faced increasing litigation over glyphosate since the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer said that it is "probably carcinogenic" in a controversial ruling in 2015. End Quote This looks not dissimilar to the anti tobacco fight from last century. It would seem the only way to end the use of this particular product and the others produced by the agricultural poisons industry will be through legal action. This needs to be done in conjunction with education programs. There is a charming, if deadly, naivety regarding these chemicals. It seems as if they must be safe because why would the government allow a company to sell dangerous products? Especially in a democracy. Profit, unfortunately has its own drivers and quarterly profit statement will quite often trump long term damage to people, the environment and alternative methods. See above, hemp vs Dupont, for another example of corporate market manipulation benefits. We need to support these counter measures wherever they appear. The listing by California’s  Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment is a small step in the right direction. We live in a time of great flux, many things thought impossible are now coming to pass. We can but apply ourselves in the hope the changes coming and already started are the benefit of all the biome, not just for the benefit of shareholders. I recall a cartoon on Facebook where a father is sitting in a post apocalyptic scene around a campfire and telling his children: Yes, we destroyed the environment but for one glorious moment we provided exquisite shareholder value. Let’s not take the world in that direction! And on that happy note we will end this week’s episode. If you’ve liked what you heard, please tell everyone you know any way you can!
