[Listener Questions] Long-term environmental habits, recycling, and cleaning with bleach
This week you asked us which environmental habits and green-living changes we've managed to keep up the longest, whether things actually get recycled, and whether bleach should (or shouldn't) be our go-to household cleaning product. PLUS, Sophie beefs with her neighbour over bin etiquette, and we realise that all of our listeners are called Andrew.

Vapes: Environmental impacts & the single-use ban
The sale of single-use vapes is set to be banned in the UK in June, and the environmental impact of e-cigarette-style devices was a key lever in the campaign that fought for this legislation. So, we're following the lifecycle of a vape and exploring the many moments in which these electronic devices can cause planetary problems.

Join the team: Could you be our Social Media Volunteer?
We’re seeking a talented and passionate volunteer with digital marketing and editing experience to join the FWIE team in 2025!
This year we're taking the pod to exciting places, but working full time in the environment sector AND making the podcast ourselves means we have little time to do the whole ‘digital’ thing. We need a hand making reels, cutting down clips, making graphics for carousels, nailing the algorithm (blah blah), and we hope in return you'll gain valuable science communication experience working as part of a tiny audio team, who have heads and hearts in the right places.
So if this sounds good to you - and you would like to volunteer with us at FWIE for just a few hours a week - we’d love to hear from you! Get in touch with some information on your experience and any ideas for getting the podcast 'out there' this year, at [email protected].
Thanks a million,
Emma, Sophie & Mark

Zoos: The good, the bad and the frozen
Zoos, aquariums, botanical gardens, and seed banks: Is keeping animals and wild creatures in captivity for entertainment ever ok? Or are zoos the conservation powerhouses and the biodiversity arks that we need as wildlife declines across the globe?
