Watch: Inspiring a greener lifestyle via social media

A Co Cork woman has been tipped by a TikTok trend forecast as an "Irish creator to watch".

Posting as @_greengal on TikTok and Instagram, Shannen Healy is on a mission to make sustainable living simple, affordable and easy.

"Often, the more sustainable way is the cheaper way," Ms Healy explains.

"My aim is to just speak to the average, everyday person, who is really busy, who doesn't have the time to investigate loads of different things, and to try and help them make that first step toward sustainability through small actions that they can easily implement in their everyday lives".

From teaching her followers how to clean their Birkenstocks to tackling food waste and figuring out the real cost of running an air fryer, Shannen’s tips are all about helping people make small, impactful changes.

Her video showing people how to bleed their radiators to maximise their performance has over 11 million views on TikTok.
