As of 1 July 2019, New Zealand has banned the use of single-use plastic bags at shops and other businesses. But just what's so bad about these bags? Waveney and Tim get into it. Also in this episode,
• Tim explains why he's tried going vegan and meat's impact on fresh water usage
• The amazing promise of the plastic bottle and how it all went wrong
• The dangers of biodegradable labelling and the difference between commercially compostable and home-compostable
