We've got spoonfuls of news for you in the world of green this week, from plastic munching bacteria to food sharing charities. We even threw in a jaunty tune!

This week there's been all sorts of panic - some of it surprisingly hairy! No we're not talking about Rob's man bun or his beard, or his face in general. Australian residents have been less than amused at the infestation of Panicum effusum. In Antarctica there's been a huge drop in the number of penguins due to an iceberg creating a much longer journey to their food source.

What might also make you happy is this new rad way of getting around - the motorised skateboard by Inboard. Even Steven Seagull is impressed!
