Maïa Dunphy: 'When it comes to recycling, lockdown feels like we’ve gone 10 steps back'

Ahead of a new season of What Planet Are You On? starting tonight,  Maïa Dunphy shares her awe at the families taking part, gives her thoughts on post-lockdown living and hits back at those who look down on apartment living

What Planet Are You On? presented by Maïa Dunphy returns to RTÉ One tonight.

It’s hard to find someone more passionate about the environment than Maïa Dunphy. I spoke to the writer and broadcaster by phone ahead of the new series of What Planet Are You On? which returns tonight on RTÉ. It was filmed in recent weeks, but Maïa says you wouldn’t notice the impact of Covid-19 on their filming.

“We had all of the required safety measures in place but the viewer won’t notice any difference, unlike with many other shows - and I feel like those protocols are ruining a lot of television shows,” Maïa says.
