Down To Earth is Newstalk’s dedicated programme about our natural environment and how we address the limits of our planet's resources.

From climate change to species extinction, we cover the toughest challenges with leading experts and celebrated thinkers. You'll hear diverse views, as we try to find common ground in how to fix our most pressing global crises.

This week it's about the future of transport.

Prof. Brian Caufield, Elaine Brick and James Nix give their views on our mobility.

The first man to circumnavigate the globe in both a balloon and a solar powered plane, Explorer - Bertrand Piccard, gives his radical solutions.

And Senator Alice-Mary Higgins is the guest this week for 'My Green Life' - where she’ll share about how her interest in social justice led to her to fight for a cleaner planet.
