Marie Sherlock, Labour Party senator

Five Degrees of Change

Marie Sherlock is a Labour Party senator and general election candidate for Dublin Central.

Marie has long been a member of the Labour Party and has a background as a trade unionist, so social justice is central to her vision of environmentalism. She is a huge advocate of the power of local environmental initiatives, but also wants the Labour Party to be back in government to deliver national environmental policy too.

For her policy changes, she spoke about ramping up retrofitting by taking a street-by-street approach, adopting WHO limits on air quality, and scaling up investment in wind energy.

For her personal changes, we discussed her cargo bike purchase, and reducing waste at home.
