On Down To Earth, Dr Cara Augustenborg will be digging into someone's 'Green Life' - finding out how they integrate environmental issues into their every day lives.

This week, it was turn of comedian, author and contributing writer in the New York Times, Maeve Higgins.

She told Cara about how she became awakened to environmental issues, her podcasts with former President Mary Robinson and the difference between the Irish and Americans when it comes to environmental issues.
